Built in Functions
Close id 142
Purpose: use after Open id or Open new to save ID data to memory.
Remarks: the Close id function and Write id instruction perform identical functions. ID data is
read into the ID registers by the Make id, Get id, and Index id instructions or by the Open id,
Open new, Read first, and Read next functions. If any ID data is modified, it must be written
back to ID memory to make the change permanent. The ID registers are cleared after a Close
id instruction.
Example: Gosub, Open id Open an existing id
Set, Id1, 0 Set Id field 1 to zero
Gosub, Close id save change to ID record
End

Purpose: toggle between Gross display and Net display modes.
Remarks: this is the default function for the Gross/Net key.
Open id 140
Purpose: get an ID number from the keyboard and then search memory for the ID record.
Remarks: If the ID is not found then “Err 21” is displayed until the operator presses a key. The
function that invoked Open id, and all calling functions are automatically terminated
(unwinds subroutine stack).
Example: Gosub, Open id Open an existing id
Set, Id1, 0 Set Id field 1 to zero
Gosub, Close id save change to ID record
