COPY: Copy Form Examples

COPY command can include in-filename and destination-filename as
an enhanced key-sequenced file or a legacy key-sequenced file.

If the destination-filename is a legacy key-sequenced file and in-
filename is a legacy key-sequenced file, then the data contained in the
source file starting from primary partition will be copied into the destination file
starting from the primary partition.

If the destination-filename is an enhanced key-sequenced file and in-
filename is a legacy key-sequenced file, then the data contained in the
source file starting from primary partition will be copied into the destination file
starting from the first secondary partition.

If the destination-filename is a legacy key-sequenced file and in-
filename is an enhanced key-sequenced file, then the data contained in the
source file starting from first secondary partition will be copied into the
destination file starting from the primary partition.

If the destination-filename is an enhanced key-sequenced file and in-
filename is enhanced key-sequenced file, then the data contained in the
source file starting from the first secondary partition will be copied into the
destination file starting from the first secondary partition.

Data contained in the individual partitions of a key-sequenced file can be copied
using the unstructured option. However, if the source file is the primary partition
of an enhanced key-sequenced file and the unstructured option is specified,
then the metadata in the primary partition is not copied.
COPY: Copy Form Examples
These examples demonstrate using the COPY command without tape DEFINES.

To copy the first 500 records of MYFILE to YOURFILE (two unstructured files in the
current default subvolume), where input records are 80 bytes and the data is
copied in 800-byte physical reads:
-COPY MYFILE, YOURFILE, COUNT 500, RECIN 80, BLOCKIN 800

To copy records from RELFILE (a relative IN file) to FILEB (FUP transfers zero-
length records and records containing data):
-COPY RELFILE, FILEB, NO COMPACT

To output the contents of the EDIT file MYTEXT to the printer $LASER:
10> FUP / OUT $S.#LASER, NOWAIT/ COPY MYTEXT
Note. For examples of using the COPY command with tape DEFINEs, see the Guardian
