FILE CONTROL TASKS
COPY (disk to unlabeled tape)
9-4
Use this command to copy source files (such as .FSL or .JSL files) to
tape. No initialization (that is, TAPE VOLINIT) is necessary to write
to an unlabeled tape. A 1/4 inch cartridge, if unlabeled, must be
initialized.
Syntax COPY [TAPE | CARTRIDGE | TD n ] WRITE [EBCDIC | ASCII]
{ disk-id } file-id
Parameters Table 9-3 shows the syntax parameters of the COPY (disk to
unlabeled tape) command.
Table 9-3.
Parameter
TAPE | CARTRIDGE Keywords specifying that files must be
TD n
EBCDIC or ASCII
disk-id
file-type
Note: If the LPS has only a 1/4 inch cartridge, then the sysgen
assigns it to TD0 which is associated with the keyword TAPE. This
assignment can be changed to CARTRIDGE with the SUBSTITUTE
DEVICE command.
When writing files to an unlabeled tape, there is no position checking.
The tape write always starts at the current tape position and is
terminated by writing two EOFs, backspacing over one of them when
another file is written. This results in one EOF between each file, with
a double EOF at the end of all the files.
Parameters of the COPY (disk to unlabeled tape)
command
Description
written to tape. TAPE is TD0; CARTRIDGE
is TD1.
A tape device number.
Specifies the format of the tape to be written.
EBCDIC is the default.
Specifies the system disk (DP0:, DP1, DP2,
or DP3:) on which the file resides. If no disk-
id is specified, DP0 is the default.
Specifies the name of the disk file to be
written to tape. (Masking cannot be used for
