This mode must be used to transmit files other than ASCII files and is the default file transfer mode used for the FTP object. This method uses the following format:

Where:

label

Optional. A Program Execution Label.

1. The ZERO flag is always set to be TRUE for this method.

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