Number of Elements for
I/O MEMORY AREA READ
(0101) and I/O MEMORY
AREA WRITE (0102)
The maximum number of elements that can be specified for reading or writing
with I/O MEMORY AREA READ (0101) and I/O MEMORY AREA WRITE
(0102) depends on the network that must be passed through.
If more than one network is passed through to read or write data, the value for
the network with the smallest limit will apply.
Volume Labels and File
Names
Volume labels are names registered in file memory. File names consist of 12
bytes, as shown below. Be sure to follow this configuration when designating
a file name by means of command parameters.
Start the file name and extension in the most-significant bytes respectively
and then fill in any unused bytes with 20 hex.
If the file name or extension in response data is less than 8 or 3 bytes respec-
tively, unused bytes will be filled with 20 hex.
It is not permissible to specify 00 (hex) or E5 (hex) at the beginning of a file
name. (Codes of 00 hex or E5 hex means “erased” in DOS.) It is also not per-
