Using FCOPY

Issuing an FCOPY Command

You can issue an FCOPY command directly from MPE, or you can enter the FCOPY

subsystem and issue one or more commands before returning to MPE.

Using FCOPY from MPE

You can issue a single FCOPY command directly from MPE using either the RUN or FCOPY

command. If you use the RUN command, include FROM, TO, and any functions you want in

the INFO=" " parameter. For example:

RUN FCOPY.PUB.SYS;INFO="FROM=A;TO=B;NEW"

When you use the FCOPY command, you list FROM, TO, and any functions you want after the

command. For example:

FCOPY FROM=A;TO=B;NEW

The FCOPY Subsystem

To enter the FCOPY subsystem, type RUN FCOPY.PUB.SYS in response to the MPE prompt.

For example,

RUN FCOPY.PUB.SYS

Or you can simply type FCOPY. The FCOPY subsystem then prompts you for commands

with a greater-than symbol (>).

Once you are in the FCOPY subsystem, you can issue one or more commands before

returning to MPE. Within the FCOPY subsystem, an FCOPY command consists of the FROM

and TO parameters and any functions that you want to perform. For example,

>FROM=A;TO=*PRINTER

Exiting FCOPY

To leave the FCOPY subsystem, type EXIT, or E, in response to the FCOPY prompt. For

example,

>EXIT

Interrupting FCOPY

You can temporarily leave the FCOPY subsystem and return to MPE by pressing the

BREAK key. When you see the MPE colon prompt (:), you can enter any MPE command

that does not create another process. Use the RESUME command to return to the FCOPY

subsystem, or use the ABORT command to terminate FCOPY.

MPE Commands

From the FCOPY subsystem, you can issue any MPE command that does not create

another process. To do so, type a colon immediately after the FCOPY prompt, and then
