File input/output is part of Short Circuit's Console Program Basics selection.
Task

Create a file called   "output.txt",   and place in it the contents of the file   "input.txt",   via an intermediate variable.

In other words, your program will demonstrate:

   how to read from a file into a variable
   how to write a variable's contents into a file


Oneliners that skip the intermediate variable are of secondary interest — operating systems have copy commands for that.




 
declare in file, out file;
 
open file (in) title ('/INPUT.TXT,type(text),recsize(100)') input;
open file (out) title ('/OUTPUT.TXT,type(text),recsize(100') output;
do forever;
   get file (in)  edit (line) (L);
   put file (out) edit (line) (A);
end;
