Chapter —Program Instructions
IMMEDIATE
Purpose Statement for enabling or disabling the immediate mode of Intermec
Fingerprint in connection with program editing without line numbers,
for reading the current mode, or for reading the current standard IN and
OUT channels.
Syntax IMMEDIATE ON|OFF|MODE|STDIO
ON Enables the Immediate Mode
OFF Disables the Immediate Mode
MODE Prints a line to the STDOUT port with information on the current
status of the following modes (ON or OFF):
- Execution
- Immediate
- Input
- Layout Input
- Debug STDIO (dbstdio)
STDIO Prints two lines to the STDOUT port with information on current
settings for the STDIN and STDOUT channels.
Remarks IMMEDIATE ON|OFF
Before starting to write a program without line numbers, the immediate
mode must be disabled by means of an IMMEDIATE OFF statement. If
not, each line will be executed immediately.
After an IMMEDIATE OFF statement, program lines can be entered
without any leading line numbers. References to lines are done using “line
labels”, which are called in GOTO or GOSUB and related statements.
A line label is a name followed by a colon (:). The label must not interfere
with any keywords or start with a digit and the line must start with the line
label. When a line label is used as a reference to another line, for example
within a GOTO statement, the colon should be omitted.
The program should be appended by a IMMEDIATE ON statement.
At the execution of this statement, the program lines will be numbered
automatically in ten-step incremental order, starting with the first line (10-
20-30-40-50...). These line numbers will not appear on the screen until the
program is LISTed, LOADed, or MERGEd. Line labels will not be converted
to line numbers.
Do not issue a RUN statement before the IMMEDIATE ON statement,
or an error will occur.
