unit is 1/10th of a second. Legal values range from 1 to

32767 for timers and +32767 to Ć32768 for counters. See

A Ć

Adds a description for a variable name. This function is

used to enter a description for a variable that does not

already have one. When you use this function, the editor

automatically displays variables that do not have a

description, one at a time, along with a field for entering the

description. As soon as you enter the description and press

<CR>, any other variable that does not have a description

is displayed. Enter the description in response to screen

prompts.

C Ć

Changes the description for a variable name. After you

enter the variable name whose description you want to

change, the current description is shown in reverse video.

Entering a <CR> retains the description. To change the

description, use the arrow keys to position the cursor in the

field and enter the new description. Enter a <CR> when

finished.
If you enter a single wild card character (*) for the variable

name, you can scroll through all variable names in the task,

regardless of whether they have descriptions.

I Ć

header (description), scan time, execution time, and

program size. Execution time and program size are

any. Scan time is measured in seconds. The actual time the

task will run has a resolution of one tick, which defaults to

5.5 milliseconds.

V Ć

Changes a variable from local (L) to common (C) or

common to local. If the variable is currently a local, the field

will show C" as the default and vice versa. Use a <CR> to

select the default or type over it.

D Ć

Deletes a range of sequences. The function will prompt for

the first and last sequence number to be deleted.

W Ć

Allows wild card substitution for variable names. Only one

wild card character (*) is permitted in both the old and new

strings entered. The wild card character must be in the

same position in both the old and new string.

N Ć

filespec." prompt, enter the name of the file, including drive

and subdirectory specification if different from the current.

First Sequence No." is the first sequence you want to

First Sequence No." in the current task. See the Move
