Read (FB; Prefix filrd) ¶ FUNCTION_BLOCK Read EXTENDS CBM.ETrigToA This function block reads the file, which was previously opened via ”FILE. Open ”. If less characters can be read than specified in ” szBuffer ”, the function block returns an active ” xDone ” and indicates the current number of characters in ” szSize ”. The size of the target memory structure for the bytes to be read and the number of bytes to be read will not be checked. If the stability of the pointer on the data structures and their contents cannot be guaranteed in case of an online change, an online change must be avoided. InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Input hFile CAA.HANDLE File handle pBuffer CAA.PVOID Target address for the first byte to be read; can be retrieved via operator ADR szBuffer CAA.SIZE Maximum number of bytes to be read; can be retrieved via operator sizeof Output eError ERROR Local library error ID (0: no error; 5101: time out) szSize CAA.SIZE Current number of successfully read bytes; this value is already valid before xDone has been set

Rename (FB) ¶ FUNCTION_BLOCK Rename EXTENDS CBM.ETrig This function block modifies the file name and is optional for the different targets. Contrary to the original CAA specification the file may be renamed even if it is opened via ”FILE. Open ”. This behavior is dependent of the underlying operating system and file system. Whether this function block is implemented or not is explicitly stated and encoded in the return value of the function ”FILE. GetProperty ”. The function block cannot be used to move directories! InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Input sFileNameOld CAA.FILENAME Old file name sFileNameNew CAA.FILENAME New file name Output eError ERROR Local library error ID (0: no error; 5101: time out)

SetPos (FB) ¶ FUNCTION_BLOCK SetPos EXTENDS CBM.ETrig This function block modifies the current offset for a file access. The file must be opened via FILE. Open . InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Input hFile CAA.HANDLE File handle udiPos __UXINT Offset position, Number of bytes from the start of the file Output eError ERROR Local library error ID (0: no error; 5101: time out)

Write (FB; Prefix filwr) ¶ FUNCTION_BLOCK Write EXTENDS CBM.ETrigToA This function block writes data into the file, which was previously opened via ”FILE. Open ”. The contents of the memory area indicated by pointer ” pBuffer ” should not be modified during the write action! The size of the structure of the memory containing the bytes to be written as well as the number of bytes to be written will not be checked. If the stability of the pointer on the data structures and their contents cannot be guaranteed in case of an online change, an online change must be avoided with the help of functions from the ”CAA_Application library”. InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Input hFile CAA.HANDLE File handle pBuffer CAA.PVOID The address from where the data can be obtained, can be determined with the help of operator ADR . szSize CAA.SIZE Number of bytes to be written (can be determined via operator SIZEOF ) Output eError ERROR Local library error ID (0: no error; 5101: time out)
