Operation

Parameters

The MG command displays the contents of the current stack word, followed by a comma. To leave the value

unchanged, you must re-enter the contents! If you press

RETURN without entering anything the word will be

filled with zeros.

For information regarding the offsets of instructions and global variables in program files, refer to compiler

options for the programming language in which the code was written.

Examples

Here is an example of using the MG and DG command. Begin by running PATCH and entering the executable file

name. In this example, the file is BIGTECH.PUB.SYS.

PROGRAM PATCH G.00.00 (C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO., 1976

FILE =?BIGTECH.PUB.SYS

The following displays values in the first five addresses:

?DG, 0,5

000112

000052

000064

000264

000464

The following would set the first five locations to zero because

RETURN is pressed without entering anything

after each location is displayed:

?MG, 0,5

000112,

000052,

000064,

000264,

000464,

The following displays the changes you just made:

?DG ,0,5

000000

reloffset The DB-relative offset of the word to modify, found in your compiler listing.

numwords The number of words, in octal, that you wish to modify. The default is one.
