COPY: Copy Form

Makes a record-by-record copy from one file to another (the Copy Form of the COPY

command) or displays the contents of a file (the Display Form). The COPY command

functions apply to Enscribe files and SPOOLER files (code 129).

You need to understand when to use the COPY command, DUP[LICATE], and LOAD

commands:



Use the COPY command to change file attributes, to copy files to or from nondisk

devices, or to display records in a file (optionally in different formats).



Use the DUP[LICATE] command to create identical copies of disk files.



Use the LOAD command to create a structured disk file from scratch. It is much

faster than the COPY command.

Use the Copy Form of the COPY command to make a record-by-record copy from one

file to another.

Note. For information on displaying file contents with the COPY command, see COPY: Display

Form on page 2-56.
