CL Command List > CPYFRMPCFF Reference

Description:

The Copy From Portable Compiled Format File (CPYFRMPCFF) command copies all user-defined DBCS character fonts contained in a Portable Compiled Format (PCF) file to a double-byte character set (DBCS) font table. During the copy operation, a dot matrix conversion is automatically performed.

There are differences in the number of supported user-defined DBCS characters between a DBCS font table and PCF file.

Restrictions: You must have the following authority:
1. *USE authority to the CPYIGCTBL, CRTPF, CHKIN and CHKOUT commands.
2. *CHANGE authority to the DBCS font table.
3. *X authority to directories in the PCF file path name prefix.
4. *RW authority to the PCF file.
