Using PWRTO3XB

In order to send files from multiple micros to the same host library using PWRTO3XB with the TOFILE(*MULTI) option, you must rename any files sent in a first transfer before performing a second transfer.

This procedure is necessary because when files are transferred from multiple micros to a single micro, the resulting file names on the destination micro are the device names from which the data was transferred. For example, a file sent from Device 1 will end up on the receiving micro as a file named device1. A file sent from Device 2 will be nameddevice2.

Because of this naming convention, any files sent in a second file transfer (from the same-named micros to the same host library) will end up with exactly the same names as the files sent in the first transfer (device 1, device 2, etc.). As a result, the files sent in the second transfer will overwrite the data sent in the first transfer.

In addition, with PWRTO3XB you may also use the option to delete the micro file after transfer to the host, in which case, after a second transfer the data from the first transfer will no longer exist on either the micro or the host.

There are two ways to avoid copying over files in the second transfer: You must either use the host function to rename the first files sent to the host, or specify the option ADDRPL (*ADD). Note that ADDRPL (*ADD) combines data from multiple micro files in a single data file on the host.
