IBM Professional Series User Manual

If the records in the file are longer than 80 bytes, you must
specify the record length with the
LRECL option (for
example, Irecl132).
If you don't know the record length,
you can use the Personal Computer command 'dir'
to find it.
(Note that you will have
to leave VM/PC to issue this
command, then restart
VM/PC.)
If you used this IMPORT command, the Personal Computer
DOS file named sampleJil on your C disk would be copied
onto your
VM/PC A disk. The file would be converted
from ASCII to EBCDIC and any end-of-line characters
would be used to indicate line ends in the
VM/PC file.
You do not have to IMPORT files to your A disk. Simply
change the file mode letter on the IMPORT command and
you can copy the file onto any disk you have accessed in
write mode. Similarly, you can
EXPORT files from any
accessed disk.
Copying a Text File from VMjPC to Personal
Computer
DOS (EXPORT)
Say that you have done the IMPORT shown above, then
made some changes to the SAMPLE FILE A file, and now
want to copy the changed file back to your Personal
Computer C disk. You could use the
EXPORT command
with the following options
to do that:
export sample file a c:sample.fi I (ascii eol rer
L
ie: means replace
existing file
with this name
ascii means convert the file'!
format to ASCI I from EBCDIC
export says copy a VM/PC file to Personal Computer DOS
The other operands and options are as explained for
IMPORT above. Because you specified the option 'rep', the
old C disk file named sample.fil will be replaced with the one
copied from
VM/PC.
Note: You must specify the complete Personal Computer
DOS filespec and the VM/PC filename, file type , and
filemode each time you issue the IMPORT
or EXPORT
commands.
