BASE Command
IN | I
changes the base only for numeric values being entered.
OUT | O
changes the base only for numeric values being displayed.
Considerations
•
If the command omits both IN and OUT, the command affects both values being
entered and values displayed.
•
Once issued, the BASE command is in effect until either you enter another BASE
command that overrides a previous command or the process terminates.
•
The command BASE, with no options, cancels any previous BASE command and
sets standard defaults for both input and output.
•
The ? command displays the current settings for BASE.
•
The N address mode is not affected by the BASE command.
•
The BASE command has no effect on these displays:
°
The sys,cpu,pin parameters in Debug’s prompt, which are decimal
°
User code and user library segment numbers, and system code and system
library segment numbers, which are octal
Examples
This command series changes the base on input and output to hexadecimal, decimal,
and octal for arithmetic with the = command.
215,05,00069-BASE H; = 7000/2 ! Hexadecimal
= 0x3800 %0034000 #14336 ‘8.’
215,05,00069-BASE D; = 7000/2 ! Decimal
= #003500 %006654 0x0DAC ‘..’
215,05,00069-BASE; = 7000/2 ! Octal (the default)
= %003400 #01792 0x0700 ‘..’
This command displays the contents of TNS environment register R0. The default
base for output is octal.
215,05,00069-D R0
*REG* %002377
This command series changes the base for output to hexadecimal and displays the
contents of R0 again.
215,05,00069-BASE H O; D R0
*REG* 0x04FF
