The ASCII Print to V–memory
instruction will write a specified ASCII
string into a series of V–memory
registers. Other features include Byte
Swap, options to suppress or convert
leading zeros or spaces, and _Date and
_Time options for U.S., European, and
Asian date formats and 12 or 24 hour
time formats.
•
Byte Swap
: swaps the high–byte and
low–byte within each V–memory
register the ASCII string is printed
to. See the SWAPB instruction for
details.
•
Print to Starting V–memory
Address
: specifies the beginning of a
series of V–memory addresses where
the ASCII string will be placed by the
VPRINT instruction.
•
Starting V–memory Address
: the
first V–memory register of the series
of registers specified will contain the
ASCII string’s length in bytes.
