Send files and Receive files
This section explains the files that can be sent and received with HULFT.
(1) 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.
(2) File Size
There is no limitation regarding file size.
Even if the file size is 0 bytes, you can send and receive the file.
However, there are cases where sending and receiving cannot be carried out, depending on the file size restrictions and settings of the operating system.
(3) 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.

(5) File Storage Location
Only files on a local disk are supported. Removable media is not supported.
However, for HULFT8 Enterprise grade, files that use network resources can be sent and received.
Refer to Handling of networked files for details.

As the only exception, the symbolic link to the directory where the Send files and the Receive files exist can be used.
