Creating a Source Program Using the XFILE Statement
You may develop a downloading or uploading source program that handles files according
to the PDT 1100-Ir protocol using the
XFILE
statement. Compile the source program into the
user program and download it to the PDT 1100. For details, refer to the
XFILE
statement in
the PDT 1100 Programmer’s Guide.
To download data files to the PDT 1100 using +C option specified in the DLL, specify the T
option to the “protocolspec” of the
XFILE
statement to treat space codes in the tail of a data
field as data. If you have selected the +C option, every record in a data file must be fixed in
length (refer to Data Files on page 2-4) so that space codes in the tail of a data field are data,
not fill characters used to fill blanks in record when its actual length is shorter than the
specified length.
