Conventions

The following conventions are used throughout this help system.

Code examples appear as:

LOOP

DISPLAY

*P01:24,DIM45;

PL/B verbs such as CALC, DISPLAY, etc., and the condition flags, such as OVER, LESS, etc. (including function key flags - F1, F14, END, DOWN, etc.), used other than in PL/B code examples are printed in bold type in all capital letters.

All instruction format examples are set as:

(1)	[label]	OPERATION	{op}{sep}{op2}	;If 2 operands are necessary
(2)	[label]	OPERATION	{op}{sep}{op2}{sep}{op3}	;If 3 operands are necessary
(3)	[label]	OPERATION	{op}{sep}{op2}{sep}{opn}	;If n operands are necessary

In any example where a variable is used, a valid array element (or complete or partial array) may be used.

The following notations are used for each example:

Label	Meaning...
Variable	The specific variable name or array element
PL	The variable's physical length
LP	The variable's length pointer at the indicated time
FP	The variable's form pointer at the indicated time
Contents	The actual contents of the variable, are printed in a fixed pitch type and blanks within the 'Contents' are indicated by the character '•'.
