data must be transferred using the SEND command, then multiple
SEND
commands must be used so that they are each less than 127
characters long. For example…
PRINT#1,"SEND UNT UNL MTA LISTEN 16 DATA
1,2,3,4,5,6"
is equivalent to…
PRINT#1,"SEND UNT UNL MTA LISTEN 16"
PRINT#1,"SEND DATA 1,2,3"
PRINT#1,"SEND DATA 4,5,6"
This way, a long SEND command can be broken up into shorter
commands.
