'ASC' : ASCII file

The file is loaded line by line in the transferred table and this should

have one-column and be of the type C. The file size is returned in the

parameter FILELENGTH.

'TRU' : ASCII file + line wrap

If a line in a file does not fit into a row in a table, then the row is

filled completely, and the rest of the line is written to the next row

in the table. Words are not split, instead they are put into the next

row of the table.

'BIN' : Binary file

The file is loaded into the transferred table which should have

one-column and be of the type X. The table is filled line by line in

this case. In this case, the last line need not necessarily be

completely filled. For this reason, the parameter FILELENGTH must be

used during further processing. The table may be a maximum of 1022

characters 'wide'!

'DAT' : ASCII file with tab formatting

The file is loaded line by line into the transferred table. Tabs in the

file mean a change of field.
