Directives
AUTO Automatic Line Generation
   
Format AUTO [lineno[,incr]]

Where:

incr Increment you want ProvideX to add automatically to generate each subsequent line number. Default increment is 10; however, you can set a different default via the 'AI'= System Parameter.
lineno Starting program line number you want ProvideX to use. Optional.
Description Use the AUTO directive to have ProvideX automatically generate line numbers to prefix your statement input.


*Note* This directive only works in Command mode.


  If you omit the starting line number in this directive, then ProvideX uses either the last generated line number (if any), or the next higher line in the current program. If you do not specify an increment, the default is 10. If you change the increment in Command mode, it stays at the new setting until you change it again.

The AUTO function remains active until you enter a null line (e.g., press Enter ) or execute a command. You can backspace over and change the generated line number.

   
Examples ->AUTO 100,10
0100 ! ProvideX generates lineno 0100 for you. Add the statement.
0110 ! ProvideX adds 10, generates line 0110.
0120
