Question about asc format in file server !

[Former Member]

In the z program that exists here it what i have a problem with

When I use local file, I can choose the format for data (ASC, WK1, DAT, etc u2026) and the format I need is DAT (DAT ASCII data table with column tab)

But when I use file server, I can't choose the format. The output file is always in ASC format.

Is the file server inevitably in ASC format, or is it possible to choose an other format ?

Thank you ,

when downloading the file (or uploading for that matter), you can define the format with addition:

IN TEXT MODE

IN BINARY MODE

Do an F1 help on OPEN DATASET.
