u: Load a Stored Form, Fill it, and Set Buffer Length
Note: Expanded functions are case-sensitive.
Expanded Function u is a message that enables you to load a form, fill it with data, and set the
automatic transmit buffer length. Expanded Function u acts exactly like Expanded Function U,
plus it allows you to set the automatic transmit buffer length.
Rule: Do not use Expanded Function u to call up a form that has a number
symbol (#) as the third text character. This type of form has an automatic
transmit buffer length as an integral part of the form that overrides the
buffer length that you are trying to assign with Expanded Function u.
