To assemble a unit object from the stack
1. Place the number part of the unit object on level 2 of the stack and the
mrit expression on level 1.
The imit expression must be in the format n_unit where n is any real
number and unit is the unit abbreviation (lb, in, m, etc.)-
2. Execute the ^UNIT command.
You can execute the ^UNIT command by:
® pressing 0 (ilTS) TOOLS ->UNiT
® selecting it from the commands catalog ((CAT) ->IINIT) or
• pressing 00 (i®)im)UNIT(Eii).
For example, entering 12 on level 2, 0ft on level 1 and executing the
^UNIT command returns 12_ft.

ten. The following table lists the available prefixes. (To key in p, press
