Send files and Receive files

This section describes files which can be sent and received with HULFT.

Record Size

For text transfer, the maximum record length (up to newline) is 32,767 bytes excluding the newline character.

Even if the original file does not exceed the maximum size, the file cannot be handled if the converted file exceeds 32,767 bytes after Code Conversion.

For format and multi format transfers, the maximum length of a single record decreases to19,997 bytes.

File Size

There are no limitations for the file size.

Even if the file size is 0 bytes, you can send and receive the file.

However, there are cases where Send and Receive operations cannot be carried out depending on the file size restrictions and settings of the operating system.

Format field size and number of fields

The field length of each field type for the format and multi format transfers is as follows.

The number of fields that can be registered in a single record is up to 1000 fields.
