Using FCOPY with Terminal Peripherals

Terminal Settings

In order to copy to or from terminal peripherals, your terminal type must be set to 10 or 12

(depending on your terminal), message reception must be turned off, and the parity toggle

switch must be set to NONE. FCOPY checks these settings before it begins to copy the ﬁles

you speciﬁed in a command that references a terminal peripheral device. If your terminal

is not set correctly, FCOPY prompts you to log on again and set the terminal type using the

TERM parameter. For more information on terminal types, refer to the System Operation

and Resources Management Reference Manual (32033-90005) for MPE V/E or Controlling

System Activity Reference Manual (32650-90155) for MPE XL. If message reception is not

turned off, FCOPY turns it off for you. Before copying the ﬁles, FCOPY prompts you to set

the parity toggle switch.
