LOAD
Format
Explanation
Example
LOAD ‘‘[<device name> :]<filename>"’ [,A]
Abbreviated Format
LO.
The LOAD command loads a specified program into memory from an external
storage device.
<filename> must have the same name as when the file was first saved. This
parameter is mandatory. <device name> must be CMT or RAM, This parameter
may be omitted when the default device or the device specified in the DEFAULT
statement is to be used. Add the A option when loading a program file which is
saved in ASCII format. Note that reading ASCII format files takes more time than
binary format files.
Only BASIC text files and machine language programs can be loaded with this com-
mand. When the file to be loaded is a BASIC text file, the current program is cleared
from the BASIC text area when the new program is loaded.
Note:
When loading a machine language routine to be linked with a BASIC program, the
LIMIT statement must be executed to reserve an area in memory for the machine
language program. Further, the applicable machine language program file is executed
as soon as loading is completed if the loading address is inside that area. (In this
case, the BASIC text is not erased.)
The LOAD command can be used within a program to load a machine language
program file.
LOAD *‘CMT:HELLO”’ ......... Loads a file named ‘‘HELLO’’ from the data
recorder.
