File handling

3.5.1

Write file (WRITE)

The WRITE command writes sets/data from the NC program at the end of a file (log file) in the
passive file system or to external program memory. This can also be the program that is
presently being executed.
Note
If no such file exists in the program memory, one will be created and can be written to using
the WRITE command.
Requirement
The currently set protection level must be equal to or greater than the WRITE right of the file.
If this is not the case, access is denied with an error message (return value of error variable =
13).
Syntax
DEF INT <error>
...
WRITE(<error>,"<file name>"/"<ExtG>","<set/data>")
Meaning
