Using FCOPY with KSAM Files
To FCOPY from an old compatibility mode KSAM file to a new compatibilty mode KSAM
file enter:
FCOPY FROM=OLDFILE;TO=(DATAFILE,KEYFILE)
OLDFILE is the
old compatibility mode KSAM data file. DATAFILE is the new compatibility
mode data file and KEYFILE is the
new compatibilty mode key file. The new key and data
files are constructed for you with exactly the same structure as the old key and data files.
The ;NEW option need
not be used.

flat file) to an old KSAM file (compatibility or native mode)
enter:
FCOPY FROM=FLATFILE;TO=KSAMFILE

FCOPY FROM=KSAMFILE;TO=ANYFILE
KSAMFILE is either a native mode KSAM file or compatibility mode KSAM data file. ANYFILE is
an old MPE/iX file.
To FCOPY from a
compatibility mode KSAM file, but to treat the file as if it were an MPE/iX
flat file, enter:
FCOPY FROM=KSAMFILE;TO=ANYFILE;NOKSAM
You may use the NOKSAM parameter with only
compatibility mode KSAM files.
To FCOPY from
any old KSAM file (compatibility or native mode) to a new native mode KSAM
file enter:
FCOPY FROM=OLDFILE;TO=(NEWFILE)
OLDFILE is the old KSAM file. NEWFILE is the
new native mode KSAM file.
