When you upload a program from the control, the control does not display
a message to indicate that an upload is taking place. If you upload a large
program it may take several minutes for the upload to complete. If you try
to edit the program while it is uploading you see an error message that says
the program is already open. You have to wait until the upload is complete
to edit the program.

Important: It is possible to upload more than one part program using
wildcards (”*” or ”?”) in place of all or part of a file name. Refer to the
workstation’s DOS manual for additional information on using wildcards.
