CVT_REC_UASC (CONVERT_RECORD_UASC) -- Convert file types.
usage: CVT_REC_UASC source_pathname [target_pathname] -OT {rec, hdru,uasc} [-R]
{CL}
FORMAT
CVT_REC_UASC source_pathname [target_pathname] -OT type [options]
CVT_REC_UASC converts files from type "rec", "hdru", or "uasc" to files of
type "rec", "hdru" or "uasc". It functions on nodes running software release
4.1 and later.
ARGUMENTS
source_pathname
(required) Specify the file to be converted.
target_pathname
(optional) Specify file to be created. An error occurs if this file
already exists (see -R below). The target_pathname may be
derived. If target is a directory, the source file is
converted and placed in that directory.
Default if omitted: the converted file becomes
'source_pathname' and the original
file is renamed
'source_pathname.CBAK'.
-OT type
(required) Specify type of file to be created ('target_pathname').
Choose one of the following for 'type': "rec," "hdru," or
"uasc."
Wildcards in pathnames associated with this command are permitted.
OPTIONS
-R Replace 'target_pathname' if it already exists.
This command uses the command line parser, and so also accepts the standard
command options listed in HELP CL.
