Does anyone know what the other parameters are for the FCOPY command ?
There is a "from" and there is a "to" what about the other parameters ?

NEW [create a new file for the TO file]
CCTL [treat the first column in the FROM file as a carriage control symbol]
SUBSET="string",column[EXCLUDE] [columns start at 1]
SUBSET=starting_record,number of records [records start at zero]
SUBSET=starting_record:ending_record [ditto]
COMPARE=maximum_number_of_mismatches
HEX [hexidecimal dump]
CHAR [print all printable characters]
The above two are very useful when used together
EBCDICIN
EBCDICOUT
KANA [I never used it]
The above may not be complete.  I do not have a manual either :-)
