PBLOAD / PBGET
[FX-850P/880P]
PBLOAD [{ 0 | 1 }] ["filename"]
- 0: positive phase, 1: reverse phase (default = positive phase).
Attempt using the phase which is opposite the current setting
if problems are experienced during PBLOAD operations.
- This command loads file under the specified filename into the
current program area.
- This command must be executed in the BASIC mode.
- Execution of this command reads the specified program from tape
and converts it from PB-100 series format to FX-850P/FX-880P format.
- Execution of this command can be terminated at any time by pressing
the BRK key.
PBLOAD ALL [{ 0 | 1 }] ["filename"]
- This command loads all files under the specified filename into program
areas P0 through P9.
Operation is identical to PBLOAD.
PBLOAD# [{ 0 | 1 }] ["filename"] [, M]
- This command reads the data under the specified filename into the DATA BANK.
- The
[, M] specification appends the read data to the end of the data
currently stored in the DATA BANK.
Operation is identical to PBLOAD.
PBGET [{ 0 | 1 }] ["filename"]
- This command reads the data file contents under the specified
filename and assigns them to $ variable, A( ) array, or A$( ) array.
- String data and numeric data are automatically assigned to the proper
corresponding array.
- This command can be executed in both the BASIC mode and CAL mode,
but must be preceded by array declaration using the DIM
statement or DEFM statement.
- Data are automatically converted (Converting…displayed) before
being assigned to variables.
Notes
- Suspending execution of PBLOAD, PBLOAD ALL, PBLOAD#, and PBGET using
the STOP key and then resuming operation should be avoided.
- A PO or DA error (data error) is generated when program or data load
is unsuccessful using the PB command.
- The following variables are used as work areas when any of the PB commands
are executed:
- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y
- a$, b$, c$, d$, e$, f$, g$, h$, i$, j$, k$, l$, m$, n$, o$, p$
- STAT, EOX, EOY, PUT, GET commands are converted to the code ??? when
loaded to a PB series computer. Executing programs with this code generates
an SN error (syntax error).
- Execution of a PB command while in the PRT mode (PRT symbol on display)
automatically cancels the PRT mode.
