When the CI line command is entered against a regular file, the Replace z/OS® UNIX File panel is displayed.

This panel allows you to copy into a regular file data from another z/OS UNIX file, a sequential data set, or a member of a partitioned data set.

The panel displays the path name of the file into which the data will be copied. These mandatory input fields are displayed on this panel:

Name

The source of the data to be copied into the file. Any of these can be specified:

• The path name of a z/OS UNIX file
• The name of a sequential data set
• The names of an existing partitioned data set and member

These optional input fields are available on this panel:

Binary copy

When this option is selected it indicates the data set/member being copied contains binary data. This causes the copy to take place without any consideration for newline characters or the special characteristics of DBCS data. If this option is not selected the data set/member is assumed to contain TEXT data.

Note: This option is ignored when copying to another z/OS UNIX file.

Convert

This option specifies whether data conversion is required during the copy operation. Typically, conversion is only required when the data contains square brackets. If no value is entered in the Conversion Table field, the data being copied is converted using the default conversion table (BPXFX000) in the standard library concatenation. By default, this would cause a conversion between code pages IBM-037 and IBM-1047. Otherwise the value in the Conversion Table field identifies a conversion table to be used for the copy operation.

Note: This option is ignored when copying to another z/OS UNIX file.

Conversion Table

These types of values can be specified in this field:

• data_set_name(member_name)

  The partitioned data set and member containing the character conversion table.

• data_set_name

  The partitioned data set that has the member BPXFX000 containing the character conversion table.

• (member_name)

  The member containing the character conversion table. It is assumed to be in a data set in the standard library concatenation. (The default data set is SYS1.LINKLIB.)

  Note: This field is ignored if the Convert option is not selected or if copying from another z/OS UNIX file.

For further information on the character conversion table refer to the description of the OPUT command in the z/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference.
