Commands

10

10 -16

Use the REN command to renumber program lines.

Important:

REN command updates the destination of GOSUB, GOTO, ONERR,

ONTIME and ON GOTO statements (Chapter 11).

If the target line number does not exist, or if there is insufficient

memory to complete the task, no lines are changed and the message

RENUMBER ERROR

appears on the console screen.

Because the REN command uses the same RAM for renumbering as it

does for variable and program storage, available RAM may be
insufficient in large programs. Renumber your program periodically
and in segments during development.
