NSB8 Datasheet, PDF (22/158 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – BASIC interpreter for Z80 family

AUTO
grifo^®
ITALIAN TECHNOLOGY
COMMAND:
AUTO
AUTO <initial line number>
AUTO <initial line number>, <increment value>
ACTION:
Initiates automatic line numbering mode, in which BASIC will automatically generate new line
numbers for successive lines of program text. the specified line number will be the first line number
used in auto-mode. Each successive automatically-supplied line number will be increlented from the
last by the specified increment value. The increment value must be an integer in the range of 1 to
65535. An increment value may not be supplied unless an initial line number is also provided. When
an initial line number or increment value is not given, it is assumed to be 10.
EXAMPLES:
AUTO
AUTO 400
AUTO 1000,100
REMARKS:
In automatic line numbering mode, a new line number will be printed at the start of every line.
Auto-mode will persist until one of the following occurs:
a) a carriage return is typed immediately after the line number;
b) a line without a line number is typed (by using the NSB8 line editing capabilities to delete
the line number from the beginning of the line);
c) the next automatically generated line number would be greater then 65535.
Note that if the “automatic” line numbers overlap existing lines in the current program, the existing
lines will be REPLACED by the new ones.
ERROR MESSAGES:
OUT OF BOUNDS ERROR
Either the initial line number, the increment value, or both are grater than 65535 or less than 0.
ARG ERROR
Either the initial line number, tha incremlent value, or both are negative, or non integers.
