particularly
useful
for
sending
large
quantities
of
data
or
8-bit
extended
ASCII
codes.
The
syntax
is
a pound sign
(#)
followed
by a
non-zero
digit
representing the
number
of
digits
in
the
decimal
integer.
After
the
non-zero
digit
is
the
decimal
integer
that
states
the
number
of
8-bit
data
bytes
being
sent.
This
is
followed
by
the
actual
data.
For
example,
for
transmitting 80
bytes
of
data,
the
syntax
would
be:
NUMBER OF
DIGITS
THAT
FOLLOW
ACTUAL
DATA
#800000080<eighty
bytes
of
dota><terminator>
NUMBER
OF
BYTES
TO
BE
TRANSMITTED
i6500B03
The
"8"
states
the
number
of
digits
that
follow,
and
"00000080"
states
the
number
of
bytes
to
be
transmitted.
