(...) filename:

Parameter...: Enables you to add a parameter to the filename you are building by selecting one from the dictionary structures
Sequence: Appends ^SEQ to the filename, enabling the transfer record to specify the retrieval of a set of files by using a wildcard * specifier. Hashes may be entered to specify the numbers of digits to be used for the sequence numbering in the 'Sequence image' window. For example an image of ### allows numbers from 001 to 999 to be used. If the maximum sequence number is reached a message 'Can not set file sequencing, sequence limit met' is displayed and no files are transferred.
Tip: The Sequence button is enabled only on a GET. You can name them all the same except for a sequence number appended to each filename, for example, ADVICE.00001, ADVICE.00002, and ADVICE.00003, and so on.
This group enables you to append a date and time to the filename. For example, if you click Century, Year, then Month, the string %cc%yy%mm is appended to the filename. If you then click Validate, that part of the filename is displayed as, for example, 200604 (century 20, year 06, month 04) if it is April 2006.
Century: Appends the current century to the filename as the text %cc. When the record carries out a file transfer, it interprets this as the current century, for example 20.

Minutes: Appends the current minutes-past-the-hour to the filename as the text %MM. When the record carries out a file transfer, it interprets this as the current minute of the hour, for example 35.
