Network File Transfer
DSCOPY
The restart record is the record in the
restart ID file to which the restart ID will
be written. Note that this record will be
overwritten by NFT. The restart ID will
be the first 1 or 2 characters in the
record. The default is 0, the first record
in the file.
CLEAR Clears all global specifications
previously issued in the current
interactive DSCOPY session.
If you do not specify this option, global
specifications will remain in effect until
a conflicting option is specified globally
or CLEAR is specified. A previously
issued global specification can also be
overridden by a conflicting option for a
single file transfer.
COMP
(compress) Compresses contents of target file
during transmission. Compression
minimizes the space required to
represent sequences of repeated
characters. The data are decompressed
before they are written to the target
file. Note: COMP cannot be used for local
transfers, that is, to a target file on the
same node as the source file.
If you do not specify this option, NFT
will check to see if COMP has been
specified in a previous DSLINE
command for the target environment. If
not, copied files will not be compressed.
DIR (direct) Specifies that the target file will be
organized to allow direct access. Each
record in the source file will have its
logical record number sent along with
it so that target file records can be
accessed in the correct sequence. DIR
causes files to be copied using
Interchange Format.
NOTE Do not use DIR if the HP 3000 target file is to be variable (either
because VAR is in effect or because the source file records are variable
length and the FIX option is not in effect); this will cause an error to
occur.
