Chapter 14. Statement Reference
332
• A communications device file should be opened before execution of the
XFILE
statement. (For the file opening, refer to the OPEN "COM:" statement.)
• The
XFILE statement uses the interface specified by the OPEN "COM:" state-
ment.
• A data file to be transmitted should be closed beforehand.
• To transfer a file by using the BHT-Ir protocol or multilink protocol, set the BHT's
ID to any of 1 to FFFFh. Specifying zero (0) to the ID will result in a run-time error.
• Undefined letters, if specified in
protocolspec, will be ignored. The specifica-
tions below, therefore, produce the same operation. The last one of the timeout
values goes active.
"RSPMT1"
"R,S,P,M,T,1"
"r,s,p,m,t,1"
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1"
"2"
"3462"
"22"
• If you transmit a data file having the same name as that already used in the
receiving station:
- the newly transmitted file replaces the old one when the field structure is
matched.
- a run-time error occurs when the field structure is not matched.
To receive a data file having the same name at the BHT but having a different
structure, therefore, it is necessary to delete that old file.
• Pressing the Clear key during file transmission aborts the execution of the
XFILE
statement by issuing an EOT code and displays a run-time error.
