Christian, thank you.
Can you give me an example of the syntax (e.g. command + param) of the RETRIEVE command in my case?

Hi Mark,

Each resource is stored as either an XML document or a binary file (raw data) [1]. You can only retrieve resources as raw data of they have been stored as binaries.

Hope this helps,
Christian
