| Parameter |
Setting |
Effect |
| 'AD' |
On |
Indicates
that the system should auto-dimension arrays
when used in assignments and the array size
can be determined due to usage. |
| 'B0' |
On |
Sets
the base number to one for level and window
identifiers. |
| 'BT' |
On |
Sets
binary test for serial files on first read.
If a size is indicated (ISZ=option),
then the file is treated as binary.
Otherwise, the file is treated as record
oriented. |
| 'BY' |
=0 |
This
parameter defines the base year for the JUL( ) Function, and the DTE( ) Function. By
setting this parameter to zero the JUL(
) and DTE( )
functions operate under the Julian calendar
where day 0 is around 4713 BC |
| 'CD' |
On |
Checks
the current directory first before checking
the prefix list for a file. |
| 'DC' |
On |
Sets
destructive cursor. (Moving from left to
right, replaces intervening characters with
spaces up to the new cursor position). |
| 'EX' |
On |
Sets
EXECUTE directives to affect
the program at level 0 thus commands that
would alter the program contents, will alter
the program at the top level of the execution
stack. |
| 'FF' |
=3 |
Defines
the format of information returned by the
FID( ) function to return a BBX
style format. |
| 'I0' |
On |
Allows
the program to access substring (0,0) of a
empty string without generating an error.
Normally accessing offset 0 of a string will
result in an Error #47. |
| 'KR' |
On |
Special
Keyed file I/O module for BBx emulation mode.
When ON the KEP( ) Function returns
the key of the record just read instead of
the key of the record prior the record just
read. In addition specifying KNO= on any of
the KEY( ) functions will
NOT do not switch key numbers, only the KNO=
on a READ will switch the current key number. |
| 'MP' |
On |
To
have the MOD( ) function
always return a positive number, even when
dealing with negative numbers. |
| 'NR' |
On |
Prevents
intermediate rounding on division. (This only
affects division, not other operations like
multiplication.) |
| 'OP' |
On |
Sets
the PGM( ) function to
return the original program name as opposed
to the resolved program pathname. |
| 'QS' |
On |
When
a START command includes the
name of a program to run, the system will
effectively only execute a BEGIN
and then RUN the program
specified. |
| 'RS' |
On |
Enables
automatic rounding of numeric data when
processed by the STR( )
function. |
| 'WK' |
On |
Prevents
'WINDOW' and 'DIALOGUE'
boxes from being automatically
dropped when you use a BEGIN
(or END in Command mode) or
a CLOSE. |
| 'XF' |
On |
Sets
extended file mode where the channels range
from 1-32767 for local files and 32768-65000
for global files. |
