FCOPY Functions
In addition to specifying input and output files in an FCOPY command, you also describe the FCOPY functions
that you want to perform. Each function has its own syntax and guidelines for its use. The NEW function, for
example, lets you create a new disk file. An example of an FCOPY command using the NEW function is:
FCOPY
>FROM=oldfile;TO=newfile;NEW
The table below lists FCOPY functions and their descriptions in alphabetical order.
