Chapter 2 Program Instructions
REM (')
Field of Application Statement for adding headlines and explanations to the program
without including them in the execution.
Syntax REM|'<remark>
<remark> is a text inserted in the program for explanatory purpose.
Max. 32,767 characters per line.
Remarks
A REM statement may either be entered on a program line of its own or be
inserted at the end of a line containing another instruction. In the latter case,
REM must be preceded by a colon (“:REM”).
A shorthand form for REM is an apostrophe (ASCII 39 dec.).
It is possible to branch to a line of REM statement. Execution will then
continue at the fi rst executable line after the REM line.
REM statements slow down execution and transfer of data and also
take up valuable memory space. Therefore, use REM statements with
judgement.
