FUP Commands
File Utility Program (FUP) Reference Manual—523323-014
2-48
COPY: Copy Form
If you specify the RECOUT option and
out-filename
is a tape DEFINE with
these attributes, you must not specify the RECLEN attribute of the DEFINE, or
RECLEN must match
out-record-length
:
LABELS set for labeled tape processing
USE set to OUT (or not specified)
If the RECLEN attribute is unspecified, it is set to
out-record-length
for
the life of the FUP command.
If you omit the RECOUT option, FUP determines the
out-record-length
value:
If
in-filename
is a tape DEFINE that has RECLEN specified, USE is set
to OUT (or not specified), and LABELS is set for labeled tape processing,
out-record-length
is set to the RECLEN value.
If you specify an
out-block-length
using the FUP BLOCKOUT option
or the BLOCKLEN attribute of a tape DEFINE (and it is less than or equal
to 4096), that value is used for
out-record-length
. If you specify an
out-block-length
greater than 4096, the value of
out-record-length
is 4096.
If you do not specify
out-block-length
and
out-filename
is an
unstructured disk file (or a process),
out-record-length
is 132.
If you do not specify
out-block-length
with the FUP BLOCKOUT
option or the BLOCKLEN attribute of a tape DEFINE (and
out-filename
is a structured disk file or a nondisk device), FUP uses the record length
specified when the file was created—or at system generation.
[ NO ] REWINDOUT
specifies whether the tape is rewound when the COPY command finishes. If
you specify NO REWINDOUT, the tape remains positioned without rewinding.
The default is REWINDOUT. (The tape is rewound.) This option also applies to
labeled tapes.
SKIPOUT num-eofs
moves the tape past
num-eofs
end-of-file (EOF) marks before the data
transfer begins (for magnetic tape only). You cannot specify this option if
out-filename
is a tape DEFINE with LABELS set for labeled tape
processing. You must use the appropriate tape DEFINE attribute to skip files
on a labeled tape.
