DATA
Define data to be used by a program
DATA list of constants
This statement is followed by a list of data items to be input into
the computer's memory by READ statements. The items may be
numeric or string and are separated by commas. String data
need not be inside quote marks, unless they contain any of the
following characters: SPACE, colon, or comma. If two commas
have nothing between them, the value is READ as a zero if
numeric or as an empty string. Also see the RESTORE statement,
which allows the Commodore 128 to reREAD data.
EXAMPLE:
DATA 100, 200, FRED, “HELLO MUM”, , 3,14, ABC123
