Edit/View - Copy panel

The Edit/View - Copy panel allows you to specify details about the data you want to copy into a data set.

File Manager displays this panel when you enter the COPY primary command in a browse or edit session but without specifying the data set or member of a partitioned data set from which the data is to be copied.

If you specified the name of a partitioned data set (PDS) without including a member name or name pattern in parenthesis in the Data set name field, then you can use this field to specify the member name or a member name pattern.

First line
The number of the first line in the source file from which you want to copy data.
Last line

Binary mode
When processing an z/FS file, allows you to specify binary mode (selected) or text mode (unselected).
reclen
When processing an z/FS file and the Binary mode option is selected, records are derived based on the fixed record length specified. The default is 80.
