4.1.2 Program Line Length
A program line is terminated with a CR code by pressing the carriage return key.
The allowable line length is basically 512 characters excluding a CR code placed at the end of
the line.
In either of the following two description ways, however, you can write a program line of up to
8192 characters:
In the samples below, symbol "↓" denotes a CR code entered by the carriage return key.
• Extend a program line with an underline (_) and a CR code.
IF (a$ = "," OR a$ = ".") AND b<c _↓
AND EOF(d) THEN ...
• Extend a program line with a comma (,) and a CR code.
FIELD #1,13 as p$,5 as k$,↓
10 as t$↓
Note that the latter description way above (using a comma and CR code) cannot be used for
the
PRINT, PRINT#, and PRINT USING statements. Only the former way should apply to
them.
