Copying Between Terminal Peripheral Devices
Although you can use FCOPY to copy from one peripheral device to another, it is usually
more efficient to use the local capabilities of the terminal. Refer to documentation
describing your terminal for instructions for copying between local devices.
Examples
The following examples show how to use FCOPY to copy to and from terminal peripheral
devices.
The command below copies the first file on the right cartridge tape unit of an HP 2645

>FROM=$CTUR;TO=DFILE1
The command in the next example displays the disk file named DFILE4 on the HP 2644A
terminal line printer in both octal and character formats:
>FROM=DFILE4;TO=$HARD;OCTAL;CHAR
The command below copies the third file on the magnetic tape unit MAGTP to the left
cartridge tape unit of an HP 2645 terminal:
>FROM=*MAGTP;TO=$CTUL;SKIPEOF=3;SUBSET
