Chapter 28
28-54
Example 28.22 would yield an output equal to the character strings with
the * symbols being converted to spaces and the parameter values for
parameters #123 and #234. The value of the parameter is output in binary
as a 32-bit string with the most significant bit output first. Negative values
are output in 2’s complement.
Example 28.23
BPRNT Program Example
#123=0.40936;
#124=-1638.4;
#10=12.34;
POPEN;
BPRNT[____________________________________________];
BPRNT[COMMENT*HERE*X#123[3]**Y#124[3]**Z#10[0]];
BPRNT[____________________________________________];
PCLOS;
M30;
The output from Example 28.23 would be:
COMMENT HERE X0.409 Y1638.400 Z12.
If the output went to a punched paper tape, it would be formatted in ISO
code.
DPRNT
This command initiates the outputting of a variable number of parameter
values in decimal format. An end--of--block character is output at the
completion of outputting all of the specified values. This command will
not be executed if the POPEN command has not been issued.
The format for the DPRNT block is:
DPRNT [ s #p[id]...];
Where : Is :
s
Is anyalpha-numeric stringof characters, including allletters, +, -, *, and /
symbols. Note that the* isoutput as aspace character. This stringis optional
and does not need tobe programmedin the block.
#p
This isany validparameter number. Note that theparameter number must have
the # sign before it.
i
This indicatesthe numberof digits beforethe decimalpoint to beoutput.
d
This indicatesthe numberof digits afterthe decimalpoint to beoutput.
Important: The sum of i + d cannot exceed 8.
