Input of Data
The IN command is used to prompt the user to input numeric or string data. The input data is assigned to
the specified variable or array element.
A message prompt may be sent to the user by specifying the message characters in quotes.
Example:
#A
IN "Enter Length", LENX
EN
This program sends the message:
Enter Length
to the PC screen or dumb terminal and waits for the operator to enter a value. The operator enters the
numeric value which is assigned to the variable, LENX. String variables with up to six characters may
also be input using the {S} specifier. For example, IN "Enter X,Y or Z", V{S} specifies a string variable
to be input.
