Sorry, Bob, but for the record, the technique you describe does not
work. The CCTL/NOCCTL options of the FCOPY command, in
conjunction with the CCTL/NOCCTL options on FILE and/or BUILD,
can do lots of different things, but stripping CCTL bytes out of a file
is not one of them. The FILE/FCOPY sequence in your post will
produce a file with the NOCCTL option set, but the CCTL bytes will
still be there, as the first data byte of each record.
See the CCTL section of the FCOPY manual at
<http://docs.hp.com/dynaweb/smpe/b1015/b885/@Generic__BookT
extView/4184> for the extensive details about what the various
combinations of CCTL/NOCCTL can do.
For a technique that *does* completely remove the CCTL bytes
from a spoolfile, try this:
:file myfile;REC=-132,,F,ASCII;SAVE
:/bin/cat <O9999.OUT.HPSPOOL >*myfile

Try the following
file file1;cctl
build file2;rec={your parameters}
file file2;nocctl;new
fcopy from=*file1;to=*file2;nocctl
This will strip the control chars from the file.

Subject: Stripping carriage control characters
Short of using an editor to delete the first column of a disk file that
has
carriage control, is there some combination of CCTL/NOCCTL on a
file equation of
either the from_file or the to_file or both and CCTL/NOCCTL on an
FCOPY
statement to end up with only the data in the to_file?
I do not have access to the SMUG I book that may be of help to
me.
Thanks.
