Definite-Length Block Response Data
Definite- length block response data allows any type of device- dependent
data to be transmitted over the system interface as a series of 8- bit binary
data bytes. This is particularly useful for sending large quantities of data
or 8- bit extended ASCII codes. The syntax is a pound sign ( # ) followed
by a non- zero digit representing the number of digits in the decimal
integer. After the non-zero digit is the decimal integer that states the
number of 8- bit data bytes being sent. This is followed by the actual data.
For example, for transmitting 4000 bytes of data, the syntax would be:
#44000 <4000 bytes of data> <terminator>
The "4" following the pound sign represents the number of digits in the
number of bytes, and "4000" represents the number of bytes to be
transmitted.
