OFF-LINE PROGRAM STORAGE
4. 11 Most HUNTER applications require storage of users' Basic source
programs in an easily accessible bulk-memory system for support,
updating, exchange and maintenance,
4. 11. 1
One very popular method of storing HUNTER programs is in user's
multi-access mainframe database systems, although minis, micros
and other HUNTERs are also used extensively, HUNTER'S ability
to communicate freely with these other systems is vital to
supporting its programming and application,
This section deals with both manual and programmed source code
loading and unloading using Basic's complementary LLIST and
LLOAD commands.
LLOAD
LLOAD is the command for loading Basic source programs into
HUNTER. It may be used to load entire programs or to modify
existing ones by appending or overwriting lines,
LLOAD can be used with any of the communications protocols
detailed in Part 6, COMMUNICATIONS, During LLOAD no text is
echoed to the screen, to speed up the facility, Certain
speed/protocol limitations are detailed below,

Manual Control
VER.V09F
To enter program lines, simply type 'LLOAD' followed by carriage
return. HUNTER will then load to memory source text presented
on the serial port, Note that syntax is checked on a line by-
line basis and that if an error is detected, the LLOAD will
terminate and a 'SYX Error' will be displayed on the screen.
If the program provided overflows the memory space available, a
'MEM Error' will appear.
LLOAD mode can be terminated by pressing

ESC

on HUNTER's
keyboard or 'power off', (Data will not be lost),
Alternatively, an 'ESC' character sent over the interface will
return control to the keyboard.
