COPY: Copy Form Examples
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

To copy a series of files onto magnetic tape, use a FUP COPY command for each
file and include the NO REWINDOUT option in each command except the last one:
-COPY FILE1, $TAPE, NO REWINDOUT
-COPY FILE2, $TAPE, NO REWINDOUT
-COPY FILE3, $TAPE

To return the files copied in the previous example from tape to disk:
-COPY $TAPE, NFILE1, NO REWINDIN
-COPY $TAPE, NFILE2, NO REWINDIN
-COPY $TAPE, NFILE3

To copy two records from the key-sequenced FILEX to FILEZ with a primary key
value specifying the starting record for FILEX:
-COPY FILEX, FILEZ, COUNT 2, FIRST KEY [ "U","P",89 ]

To copy all the files that have changed since a specified date (01/01/01) to a
backup tape:
-COPY $MOD.*.* WHERE MODTIME > 1 JAN 2001, $TAPE

To read records from a file (PERSONAL), translate them using a specific
translation table (MY_ENCRYPT), and copy them to another file (SECRET):
-COPY personal,secret,XLATE MY_ENCRYPT

To give the file you are copying a title and display four lines of the file (including the
title) on the terminal screen:
-COPY FILEZ, , TITLE, COUNT 4
