WORDS

Volatile User Flag

Variable

Purpose

Set a user flag ON or OFF with another flag, or a constant.

Syntax

Fn = ON/OFF/Fn/Bm
variable =

The number of the flag. n = 1, 2, 3, ..., 64. m = 1, 2, 3,

, 8

variable

Variable may be a nonvolatile flag Bn, a volatile flag Fn, or a
system flag.

Remarks

The changes made to Fn remain in effect as long as power is maintained. On power-up
or HRESET all Fn flags are set to OFF. If a flag needs to be maintained during a power
failure use a Bn flag. Changes made to Fn flags by one program will be seen by other
programs.

TIP: Variables can be assigned names using the ASSIGN command and then refer-
enced by those names to make the program easier to read.
