COPY: Copy Form Guidelines

COPY accepts a default file name for the source file. You can copy items to a file
without having to specify the terminal name.

You can copy up to 99,999,000 lines to an EDIT file (ABT or later SPRs).

When output is copied to TAPE, FUP always turns buffering on if the drive accepts
it.

When tape copy operations are performed, two EOF marks are written at the end
of the COPY operation to denote the end of the reel.

If the destination of the copy is an unstructured file, a relative file, or an entry-
sequenced file with existing data, new data is appended to the end of the file.
Existing data is not overwritten.

If the destination of the copy is a key-sequenced file, COPY places the records in
the appropriate location instead of appending them to the end of the file.

If in-filename is in the EDIT file format, each text line is treated as a logical
record with a count read attribute.

Unstructured files are different. Each physical read (except possibly the last read of
a file) returns exactly in-record-length bytes.

To copy to an EDIT file or spooler (code 129) file, you can use the COPY
command.

You cannot use the COPY command to copy a multireel set of tapes created by a
NonStop COBOL application. The COBOL program marks the end of a multireel
set of tapes differently from FUP, forcing you use a COBOL program to copy these
types of tapes.
Note. A warning occurs if you specify EBCDICOUT and an XLATE option (and FUP
uses the XLATE option). For more information on the XLATE option, see
CONFIG[URE]
on page 2-26.
Note. For descriptions of the display option and the Display Form of the COPY command,
see COPY: Display Form
on page 2-56.
