Display During Sessions

During a session, FCOPY displays messages and their reference numbers on your terminal. For example:

         *54* SYNTAX ERROR: UNKNOWN OPTION

If the error involves a file, FCOPY asks you whether you want to display the file information. For example, if you try to copy a nonexistent file named THISFILE to a file named THATFILE, FCOPY displays the following message:

         *105* CANNOT OPEN FROMFILE
         DISPLAY FILE INFORMATION (Y OR N)?

Answer "yes" by pressing Y and then Return, or answer "no" by pressing N and Return. If you answer "yes", FCOPY displays the corresponding file system error message and file information. In the example above, the following display appears:

         NONEXISTENT PERMANENT FILE (FSERR 52)
         +-F-I-L-E---I-N-F-O-R-M-A-T-I-O-N---D-I-S-P-L-A-Y+
         !                                               !
         !    ERROR NUMBER:     52 RESIDUE: 0            !
         !    BLOCK NUMBER:     0     NUMREC: 0          !
