MOVE TO <destination> FROM <connection><source>
You can also switch the placement of the qualifiers within the command
line:
MOVE FROM <connection><source> TO <destination>
The following table defines each part of the MOVE command line.
This: Is:
MOVE the command that requests the data transfer. You can abbreviate to one
character, upper or lower case. Leave at least one space between each field
in the command line.
TO the qualifier that allows you specify the destination of the data transfer. You
can abbreviate as T and use upper or lower case letters.
<destination> the location where the requested information is going to be placed. This could
be a local MMS named variable (in single quotes) or a local address (in
double quotes).
FROM the qualifier that allows you to specify the source of the data transfer. You can
abbreviate to one character and use upper or lower case letters.
<connection> the communication link established between two points. You label
connections using the connection symbol :C followed by an integer from 1 to
9999).
<source> the location where the requested information is stored. This could be a
remote MMS named variable (in single quotes) or a remote address (in
double quotes). A connection identifier (:C) must precede the source, and
both must directly follow the FROM qualifier.
For example:
MOVE TO ’timer_45’ FROM :C6’timer_44’
the command
the connection identifier
followed by the number 6
a qualifier
a qualifier
the MMS named variable that is
the destination
the MMS named variable that is
the source
The important thing to remember about the syntax for using the MOVE
command to read is the placement of the source and destination. You must
place the <destination> directly after the TO qualifier, and the
<connection><source> directly after the FROM qualifier.
