LOAD

Field of Application

Statement for loading a copy of a program, residing in the current

directory or in another speciﬁ ed directory, into the printer’s working

memory.

Syntax LOAD<scon>

<scon> is the program to be loaded into the working memory.

Remarks

If the program has the extension .PRG, the name of the program can be

given with or without any extension. Otherwise, the extension must be

included in the name. If the program resides in another directory than the

current one (see CHDIR statement), the name must also contain a reference

to the directory in question.

LOAD closes any open ﬁ les and deletes all program lines and variables

residing in the working memory before loading the speciﬁ ed program. If the

previous program in the working memory has not been saved, see SAVE

statement, it will be lost and cannot be retrieved.

While the program is loaded, a syntax check is performed. If a syntax error

is detected, the loading will be interupted and an error message will be

transmitted on the standard OUT channel.

Examples

Load the program "LABEL127.PRG" from the current directory:

LOAD "LABEL127"

LOAD "LABEL127.PRG"

When “Ok” appears on the screen, the loading is completed. Use a LIST

statement to display the program on the screen of your terminal.

You may also load a program stored in another directory than the current

one, for example a read-only memory card ("rom:") or an optional

DOS-formatted SRAM memory card ("card1:"). Start the ﬁ le name by

specifying the directory, for example:

LOAD "rom:MKAUTO"

LOAD "card1:PROGRAM1.PRG"

This will create a copy, which you can list or change and then save

under a new name.
