      PARAMETERS input-file-spec
      
      		       Specifies the name of an existing file to be copied and 
                       converted.  Wildcards are not allowed.
      
                 output-file-spec

                       converted file is written.
      
      
      DESCRIPTION
      
      		       The RJECOPY command is used to convert the record 
                       attributes of RJE printer output files.  RJE files  
                       created by the VMS/SNA RJE system have no record 
                       attributes.  Each record contains embedded carriage 
                       control characters,  typically a trailing carriage-return 
                       and line-feed character.
      
      		       RJECOPY converts the file's record attributes to 
                       "Carriage return carriage return" which is the default 
                       for a text file.
      
      		       Overstruck lines are converted from three separate 
                       records to one record with embedded carriage returns.  
                       For example, the following three records:
      
      		       Title line<CR>
      		       Title line<CR>
      		       Title line<CR><LF>
      
      		       would be converted to the following record:
      
      		       Title line<CR>Title line<CR>Title line
      
      
      QUALIFIERS
      
                 /NOFORMFEED
      		       Causes all formfeed characters to be removed.
      
                 /NONULLS
      		       Causes all null characters (ASCII zero) to be converted 
                       to blanks.
      
                 /STRIP
      		       Causes all text up to the first formfeed to be deleted.  
                       Typically, this will cause the banner page to be deleted. 
                       Note that if the banner extends to a second page, part of 
                       it will remain at the start of the final output file.
      
                 /TRIM=number
      		       Specifies the number of lines to trim from the start of 
                       the output file.  Note that if the /STRIP qualifier is 
                       also used, this action happens after the first page is 
                       removed.
      
      
      EXAMPLES
      
      1
        $ RJECOPY IYIY1234.STD MONTHLY.REPORT
      
      		       This example copies the file IYIY1234.STD to 
                       MONTHLY.REPORT, while converting it to a plain text file.
      
      2
        $ RJECOPY/NONULLS/NOFORMFEED/TRIM=2/STRIP IYIYABCD.STD ANALYSIS.DAT
      
      		       In this example, the file IYIYABCD.STD has the first page 
                       deleted, the next two lines deleted, all formfeeds 
                       removed, and all nulls converted to blanks.
