Syntax:

PRINT [data[CR/LFcontrol...]]

Parameter:

data

A numeric or string expression.

CR/LFcontrol

A comma (,) or a semicolon (;).

Description:

PRINT displays a number or a character string specified by data at the current

cursor position on the LCD screen (To position the cursor, use a LOCATE state-

ment.) and then repositions the cursor according to CR/LFcontrol.

■ data

• data may be displayed according to the current display mode and character

attributes. You need to select the display mode with a SCREEN statement before

execution of the

PRINT statement.

• If you omit data option, a blank line is outputted. That is, the cursor moves to

the first column of the next screen line.

• Positive numbers and zero automatically display with a leading space.

• Control codes (08h to 1Fh) appear as a space, except for BS (08h), CR (0Dh) and

C (18h) codes.

BS (08h) deletes a character immediately preceding the cursor so that the cursor

moves backwards by one column.

PRINT CHR$(8);

CR (0Dh) causes a carriage return so that the cursor moves to the first column of

the next screen line.

PRINT CHR$(&h0D);

C (18h) clears the LCD screen so that the cursor moves to its home position in the

top left corner, just like the CLS statement.

PRINT CHR$(&h18);

I/O statement

Displays data on the LCD screen.
