VCOPY Command

Use the VCOPY command to copy a range of lines from one variable and insert them

at a given line position in another variable.

option

is any of these:

OUT file-name

QUIET

TO variable-level

OUT file-name

specifies a device, or a sequential file accessible to the sequential I/O (SIO)

facility, that is to receive the copied lines. The listing includes line numbers. If

you omit this option, TACL writes the listing to its current OUT file. If the QUIET

option is present, this option is ignored.

If you specify an OUT file that does not exist, TACL creates an EDIT file

named list-file. If you specify an OUT file that already exists, TACL appends

the information to the end of the file.

QUIET

suppresses listing of copied lines even if the OUT option is supplied.

TO variable-level

is the name of an existing variable level to which a listing of all copied lines is

to be appended. Line numbers are not included. The QUIET option has no

affect on this option.

source-var

is an existing variable level containing the lines to be copied. It must not be in a

shared segment, and must not be a DIRECTORY, a STRUCT, or a STRUCT item.

range

specifies the line or lines to be copied. A range specification can be any of these:

VCOPY [ / option [ , option ] ... / ] source-var range

dest-var dest-line
