File Append (/A)Function
This function appends the contents of a file that is specified by the append file pathname to a file that
is specified by the target file pathname.
Note:
File contents will be appended using the binary method (i.e. if the target file ends with an EOF code,
data is appended after it).
Starting method
int argc = 4
char* argv[] = { "fl", "/A[Option]" , "append pathname" , "target pathname" }
DoFlink(argc, argv)
Options
Option Description
S
(transmission append) Indicates that the file specified by the append file pathname exists on the
IT-2000 side. (This option is only provided to maintain compatibility with
the Download Utility Software (HFC) on the personal computer side.
Therefore, the transmission appending operation can be performed
without this S option).
Q (Quiet) Non-display of the FLINK output message
H
(HT-to-HT
communication)
Used to perform communication between two handy terminals
(execute the partner-side FLINK with idle start).
Append file pathname
Specify the file to be appended that exists on the execution side by its full pathname.
A wild card cannot be used for the file name.
Target file pathname
Specify the target file that exists on the communication partner side by its full pathname.
A wild card cannot be used for the file name.
If the specified file does not exist, a file with the name specified will be created.
Parameter setup examples
argc = 4
argv[] = {“fl”, ”/A”, ”a: my data.dat”, ”b: you master.dat”}
With the above specifications the contents of the data.dat file on the execution side are
appended to the master.dat file on the partner side.
