SECTION 7.1
In the case of editing a Basic tokenised program, a check is carried
out on the size of the tokenised program so that its text equivalent
form would not be greater in length than the size of the TPA.
Basic programs are tokenised so as to reduce the amount of memory
required to store the program and increase the speed of operation of
the Basic program. On converting a Basic tokenised program into its
text equivalent, the size of the program increases by approximately
1/3. Hence, although the size of the Basic tokenised program
(obtained by using the STAT command in DEMOS) indicates that it would
fit into the TPA, this, of course, does not imply that its text
equivalent would fit into the TPA and, therefore, it cannot be
assumed the Basic tokenised program can be edited.
The maximum size of a Basic tokenised program which can be edited is
approximately 36K bytes. Hence, for normal applications this size
check does not impose limitations upon the HUNTER.
