for external data storage.

If you are transferring programs into POSITIP from a PC (EXT

setting), the PC must send the programs.
If POSITIP's memory already contains a program with the same

number as that being transferred, the error message

PROGRAM ALREADY EXISTS

will appear on the screen.

In this case, before you can transfer the program you must either

rename or delete the program in POSITIP.
