Tape with Program End = M02, M30, M99
This particular tape format allows single- or multi-program format on a
tape. It also lets you enter either M02, M30, or M99 as a program end
code. See chapter 10 for details on legal program end codes. Figure 10.1
shows a typical configuration for a multiple program tape with M30 and
M99 as program end codes.
If the first block of the file program is a filename, you can set AUTO
FILENAME to “yes” to create filenames for all subsequent programs. If
AUTO FILENAME is set to “no” and if no filenames are included in the
programs on the tape, you have to enter all filenames from the keyboard
when prompted. For more information, see the section on O-word
programming in this chapter.
The control automatically recognizes EIA or ASCII during input when it
reads the first EOB code from the tape.
