6.2.3 Extended Data Input Control Variable (#8552)
By setting 3 in #8502 and setting a variable number in #8552, the
character string input mode is set and ">" is displayed in the input line
to enable address data and numeric data to be input.
When a command key that causes command key input variable #8501
to be set to a non-zero value is input, the data input line returns to its
initial state. The input numeric data and address data can be read from
32 variables starting with the one having the variable number set in
variable #8552, as ASCII code data.
If nothing has been input, 32 <null> codes are read.
Example
Assume that the variables are set as follows:
#8502=3;
#8552=500;
and that the following is input:
0123456ABCD
When the <INPUT> key is pressed,
the following data is read from the variables:
#500=48
#501=49
#502=50
#503=51
#504=52
#505=53
#506=54
#507=65
#508=66
#509=67
#510=68
#511=<Null>
:
#531=<Null>
#8501=8
