Repeat to Address (RA)
Function
The RA order stores a specified alphanumeric or null character in all buff-
er locations starting at the current buffer address and ending on the speci-
fied stop address. This stop address and the character to repeat are identi-
fied by the three bytes immediately following the RA order in the Write
data stream. You can use RA orders to fill an area of the display.
Restrictions
A parameter error is posted when:
S Fewer than three bytes follow the order.
S Arowaddressequals0orisgreaterthan24.
S The specified ending address is less than the current display address.
Note: Although any character can be repeated, avoid using hex 11 (SBA
orders), because this value is the delimiter between the fields sent in
response to the Read MDT Fields command.
Format
None.
Results
The character is repeated from the current display address through the
ending display address specified. The current display address is then
updated to the value of the last position +1.
