Copy: Copy Form - HP T6553 D45 Reference Manual

FUP Commands

COPY: Copy Form

Makes a record-by-record copy from one file to another (the Copy Form of the COPY
command) or displays the contents of a file (the Display Form). The COPY command
functions apply to Enscribe files and SPOOLER files (code 129).
Note. For information on displaying file contents with the COPY command, see
Form on page 2-56.
You need to understand when to use the COPY command, DUP[LICATE], and LOAD
commands:

Use the COPY command to change file attributes, to copy files to or from nondisk
devices, or to display records in a file (optionally in different formats).

Use the DUP[LICATE] command to create identical copies of disk files.

Use the LOAD command to create a structured disk file from scratch. It is much
faster than the COPY command.
Use the Copy Form of the COPY command to make a record-by-record copy from one
file to another.
