Size Method (FTP)


10.2, PLBCMP GUI Only

 

The Size method retrieves the file size of a file on the FTP server. This method uses the following format:

 

[label]

{object}.Size

[GIVING {return}] USING [*RemoteFile=]{remotefile}

 

Where:

label

Optional. A Program Execution Label.

object

Required. A FTP that has been declared.

return

Optional. A Numeric Variable that returns the size of the specified file that exists on the FTP server.

remotefile

Required. A Character String Variable or string literal that specifies the file name that exists on the FTP server.

Flags Affected: OVER, ZERO

Note the following:

  1. The ZERO flag is set if the {return} value is zero.

  2. The OVER flag is set if the {return} variable is too small to receive the pass/fail value without being truncated.

  3. Debug log entries are generated if the debug logging is enabled. See the FTP Debug Method description to enable debug logging.
