Requires: Base Development System

Reads byte count synchronously and stores the transferred data in the file specified by filename.

filename opens in binary mode. Any existing contents are destroyed if you set the Message Based Settings:File Append Enable property to FALSE. The data is then written to the file. The operation returns only when the transfer terminates.
