R

FORMAT=

Defines the format of variableĆlength records whose record types match the preĆ

ceding RECTYPE parameter.  The format of a record consists of the data type

and length of each field within the record, specified as follows:

FORMAT=tnnntnnn. . .

where:

    t = data type

   

nnn = field length, right-justified and zero-padded

Although the NORAND file transfer protocol supports a number of data types,

many of these are specific to the NORAND PL/N language.  For the sake of simĆ

plicity, specify a data type of X (for character) and the record length, which does

not include the record type character.  If you need more information on PL/N file

formats, refer to the NORAND document, Writing TCOM Modules in PL/N for

the HandĆHeld Computer, or refer to the host TCOM manual.

FORMAT=X020
FORMAT=N012X016N004

FILE=
The name of an upload file.  Files are uploaded according to the preceding header

information.  Multiple FILE parameters may follow a single HEADER parameĆ

ter, if the header applies to all the specified files.  (Example:  FILE=BYPRD.DAT)

At a minimum, the NRUPLD.CTL file must specify a session control file, as deĆ

scribed earlier.

HEADER=<DSCNTRL00001X042>
FILE=SCNTRL.DAT

The file SCNTRL.DAT would contain the session control data of the form:

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYMMDDHHMMSS

as described earlier under Session Control File."  This file could have any name.

SCNTRL.DAT is used as an example.
