Global Variable Commands
{constant} – Equivalent to P0={constant} if no unfilled table; otherwise value entered into table
I{data}={expression} – Assign expression value to specified I-variable
I{constant}..{constant}={constant} – Assign constant value to specified range of I-
variables
I{constant}[..{constant}]=* – Set specified I-variable[s] to default[s]
I{constant}=@I{constant}] – Set specified I-variable to address of another I-variable
I{constant}[..{constant}] – Report I-variable values to host
P{data}={expression} – Assign expression value to specified P-variable
P{constant}..{constant}={constant} – Assign constant value to specified range of P-
variables
