COPY

EBCDICOUT

the output characters are translated from ASCII to their EBCDIC equivalents.

FOLD

the input records or rows that are longer than the output record length are divided
into as many output records as needed to copy the entire input record or row.

PAD pad-character

the input record containing fewer bytes than the output record length is padded
with pad-character. Specify pad-character as a single byte character in quotation
marks or as an integer in the range of 0 to 255.

RECOUT <1 to 4096>

the maximum number of bytes in an output record.

REWINDOUT | NO REWINDOUT (magnetic tapes only)

the tape is rewound (or not rewound) after the copy operation has completed. If NO
REWINDOUT is specified, the tape remains positioned without rewinding. The
default is REWINDOUT. This option also applies to labeled tapes.

UNLOADOUT | NO UNLOADOUT (magnetic tapes only)

the tape is unloaded (or not unloaded) after rewinding. The default is
UNLOADOUT. This option also applies to labeled tapes.

UNSTROUT

AUTOSYNC opens and writes to the output file using the unstructured access
option. It can be used for Enscribe unstructured files or structured files where the
file structure is ignored.

UPDATE (key sequenced files only)

the records are to be updated rather than inserted into the output file. An error is
returned if the record to update is not present in the file. If the output file is not key
sequenced, the option is ignored.

VAROUT

writes variable length blocked records. Each record is preceded by a one word
indicator that contains the record length in bytes.

Variable length records are word aligned in the output block. The last record in the
block is followed by a terminator (-1) if there is space in the block.

The FOLD and PAD options are not supported when varout is specified.
