Using NS3000/iX Network Services (36920-90008)

74 Chapter 5
Network File Transfer
DSCOPY
NOTE The descriptions of the options listed below assume that the transfers
are between two HP 3000s (producer and consumer nodes) only. To
learn what defaults, options, and syntax to use to transfer files between
PCs and HP 3000s, refer to the User Guide for HP PC Network Services.
There is no limit to the number of options that you can specify for a
single DSCOPY request. Each option must be separated by a semicolon.
Some options conflict with each other. In Table 5-1, options grouped
together conflict. If you specify conflicting options in the same
invocation of the DSCOPY command, only the last option specified will
take precedence. For example, if you specify the ASC and BIN options in
the same file transfer request, only the option specified rightmost in the
command line will take effect.
Table 5-1 Conflicting DSCOPY Options
APP (append) Appends the source file to an existing
target file. An error condition will occur
if there is not enough file space
allocated to hold both the original and
appended files, source file type
attributes do not match target file
attributes, or the specified target file
does not exist. If not enough space
exists to hold both files, as much of the
source file as will fit will be appended to
the target file before an error message
is issued.
ASC (ASCII) Specifies that records contain ASCII
characters and that ASCII spaces (octal
020000 000040) will be used as
padding for fixed-length records.
transfers files using Interchange
Format. If the STRIP option is specified
when the ASC option is in effect,
DSCOPY will remove extra spaces from
the ends of records.
