About uppercase characters and lowercase characters
in position variable names
In MELFA-BASIC V and MELFA-BASIC VI, lowercase characters can be used for variable names.
This software does not differentiate between uppercase letters and lowercase letters in variable
names. For example, the position variables PA and pa are recognized as the same position
variables.
The controller converts all later variables to match the first position variable name defined. For
example, if you write a program like that below, the position variable "pa" is used and "PA" is
converted into "pa".
When this is written to the controller, it is
converted in the controller as on the right.
