Parameters

• File Name <string> - The name of the saved file. The user should indicate the full path of the file.

  2. ANSI/BINARY (each character uses 1 byte)

  3. Unicode UTF-8 (each character uses 1 byte to 4 bytes)

• Coded <unquoted string> - Defines if the saved data is being coded or not. If user chooses YES to this parameter, values between '<' and '>' are considered to be the ASCII value and will be converted to the respective char, otherwise nothing happens.
