Option Function
W Write over files with RO (Read-Only) attribute. Usually,
if a PIP command tail includes an existing RO
file as a destination, PIP sends a query to the console
to make sure you want to write over the existing file.
When this parameter follows a source name, PIP
overwrites the RO file without a console exchange.
If the command tail contains multiple source files,
this parameter need follow only the last file in the
list.
Z Zero the parity bit. When this parameter follows a
source name, PIP sets the parity bit of each data byte
in the destination file to zero. The source must contain
character data.
Examples: A >PIP NEWPROG.BAS=CODE.BAS[L],DATA.BAS[U]
This command constructs the file NEWPROG.BAS on drive A by joining
the two files CODE.BAS and DATA.BAS from drive A. During the
copy operation, CODE.BAS is translated to lower-case, while DATA.BAS
is translated to upper-case.
A> PIP CON: =WIDEFILE.BAS[D80]
This command writes the character file WIDEFILE.BAS from drive A
to the console device, but deletes all characters following the 80th column
position.
A > PIP B: =LETTER.TXT[E]
The file LETTER.TXT from drive A is copied to LETTER.TXT on
drive B. The LETTER.TXT file is also written to the screen as the copy
operation proceeds.
