If “%” is set to “yes”, making it a valid program end-code, no program
end-code other than PRGRM NAME can be set to “yes”. If another
program end-code is set to “yes”, the “%” option is automatically set to
“no”. Refer to the descriptions for M-codes in chapter 10 for details.
M02, M30 -- refer to the descriptions for M-codes in chapter 10 for
details
M99 -- refer to the descriptions for M-codes in chapter 10 for details
% -- also used as end-of-tape code. Refer to section on STOP PRG
END
Important: If you set the “%” field to “yes”, the tape punch adds a %
code after the last block of every program that is output to tape.
PRGRM NAME -- if set to “yes”, a program name is recognized as the
end of the previous program. The program name must be in one of
these forms where xxxxx indicates an integer from 0 to 99999:
Oxxxxx (ASCII)
:xxxxx (EIA)
Nxxxxx (except for N00000)
Important: If an N-code is used to designate the program name, be aware
that all part program blocks that contain N-codes will be interpreted as new
part programs.
If a program is loaded on a peripheral device, such as a tape reader, and
you want to send a copy of that program to control memory, follow these
steps:
1. Verify that the peripheral device is connected to the correct serial port
and that the port is configured for that device (see section 9.1.1).
2. Press the {PRGRAM MANAGE} softkey. Figure 9.2 displays the
program directory screen.
