File Format and Error Messages 

 

Explanation 
 - File format 

All files that are read from and written to an external device are of text 
format.    The format is described below. 
A file starts with % or LF, followed by the actual data.    A file always 
ends with %.    In a read operation, data between the first % and the 
next LF is skipped.    Each block ends with an LF, not a semicolon (;). 

•

 

LF:    0A (hexadecimal) of ASCII code   

•

 

When a file containing lowercase letters, kana characters, and 
several special characters (such as $, \, and !) is read, those letters 
and characters are ignored.

ASCII code is used for input/output, regardless of the setting 
parameter (ISO/EIA). 

•

  Bit 3 (NCR) of parameter No. 0100 can be used to specify 

whether the end of block code (EOB) is output as "LF" only, or 
as "LF, CR, CR."   

 

Limitation 
  - Memory card specification 

Use memory cards that comply with PCMCIA Ver2.0 or JEIDA 
Ver4.1. 
 

 - Attribute memory 

Memory cards that have no attribute memory or contain no device 
information in the attribute memory cannot be used.
