Why do you want to remove it ?
I think it tells FOCUS how to read the file

Waz is correct, this setting helps FOCUS read FIX format HOLD type files. It is applicable to later 7.6 and 7.7 release I believe.
There are 2 values, BINARY and STREAM, for IOTYPE and it is internally generated and should not be applied manually to an MFD.

I tabled the data into a hold file (hold.ftm and hold.mas) from 7.7.03. The hold.mas has the IOTYPE parameter.
When I table that hold file from a 7.6.5 machine, it can not read the file.
Is there a setting in 7.6.5 that I am missing for 7.6.5 to recognize the IOTYPE parameter?
