RESUME Command
?
If X3PAD is writing to a RECEIVE file and a RECEIVE command is issued, “?” is
written to the OUT file.
RESUME Command
The RESUME command causes X3PAD to enter the data transfer state.
If a call is in progress, X3PAD enters the data transfer state. Table 4-14 summarizes
potential RESUME error messages.
THERE IS NO CALL IN PROGRESS.
If no call is in progress, X3PAD remains in the command state.
A message is written to the OUT file.
SEND Command
The SEND command causes X3PAD to send data from a file to a remote device.
file
is the data file that X3PAD opens and writes data from. If file is omitted, X3PAD
enters the data transfer state.
When the end of the SEND file is reached, the SEND file is closed and X3PAD
resumes executing terminal commands.
The SEND command may not preserve the record structure of the file. If the SEND file
contains records longer than the default packet size used by X25AM, each record is be
fragmented to fit into multiple packets. Depending on the data and its interpretation by
the receiver, record boundaries may be lost.
If the SEND file contains empty records, they are not transmitted. As a result, the
received file will not be identical to the SEND file. Table 4-15 summarizes potential
SEND error messages.
