• Notes for entering numeric data:
Valid characters include 0 to 9, a minus sign (-), and a period (.). They should be
in correct numeric data form. If not,
INPUT # statement accepts only numeric
data from the first character up to correctly formed character, as valid data. If no
valid data is found, the
INPUT # statement automatically assigns a zero (0) to
variable.
If the INPUT # statement reads alphabetical characters with a numeric variable,
it automatically assigns a zero (0) to
variable. For reading of Code 39 bar
codes that may encode alphabetical characters, therefore, special care should be
taken.
