Copying the System Tables File
To copy the system tables file, do as follows:
1If you are not in the cms directory on the hard disk, type
c d \ c m s
2To get into the cmsmgmt directory, type
cd cmsmgmt
3To copy the system tables file for the current date, type
copy c:systbls.cms a:syymmdd.cms
where yymmdd is the date. For example, to copy the system tables file on 04/19/87, copy it to a file called s870419.cms.
If you copy the system tables file only when a change affecting line, agent, or split assignments has been made, use the date the change became effective. For instance, if the change was made Monday morning before CMS, use Monday’s date. If the change was made after CMS stopped on Monday, use Tuesday’s date.
Copying Historical Data Files
To copy the historical data files, do the following:
1Get into the cmsrept directory (\cms\cmsrept) according to steps 1 and 2 in the previous procedure.
2Type a series of commands in the form
copy c:dyymmdd.cms a:
where yymmdd is the date on which data were collected. For example, if you want the historical data file for 04/19/87, you would copy the file d870419.cms.
To copy 10 days’ data at a time, for instance, files from 07/20/86 through 07/29/86, type a command in this format:
copy c:d86072 ✱.cms a:
Erasing Files from the Hard Disk

NOTE: You can also use the “delete” command, as follows:
delete c:dyymmdd.cms
(in place of “erase”).
