DESCRIBE The describe function allows the operator to enter an alphanumeric block
description of up to 26 characters.
DELETE Allows the operator to delete the selected block number. If it is desired to delete all
data blocks, the block location must be set to the ALL state. Operator confirmation ENTER is
required to complete the delete operation. Note that this operation is irreversible.
PRINT The block print function uses the optional external serial printer option to make a hard
copy report of data contained in the selected block.
4.27 New Block Editor
The new block editor is used to establish the storage requirements for a newly created data
block. The operator must specify the number of rows and columns, as well as the storage
direction. If a sequential configuration is desired, simply set either the rows or columns value
to 1. This menu also offers the operator an opportunity to define the blockís name and
description.
ROWS Sets the number of grid rows for this data block. The number of rows is adjustable in
the range of 1 to 5000, but may be limited by the number of columns or available reading
locations.
