Finishing and checking your program
When you have finished entering your program, press the
key to have the TriCoder check your program for errors. If you have
referenced a statement number that doesn‟t exist or hasn‟t been defined properly, you will see the message:
INVALID STMT. #
HIT ANY KEY_
Pressing a key will take you to the prompt statement number where the TriCoder found the problem. Make the appropriate
corrections then press the
key again. If the TriCoder finds no other
problems
, you will see the Programming Mode Screen:
PROGRAMMING MODE
PROGRAM #1 ------------------------- 1
PROGRAM #2 ------------------------- 2
PROGRAM #3 ------------------------- 3
MULTI PROGRAM MODE ---
OFF
4
DONE/EXIT ----------------------------- 0
PLEASE SELECT OPTION: _
You can now create another program by pressing 1-3, or exit PROGRAMMING MODE entirely by pressing the
key to return to
the Main Menu.
If you don‟t press the
key when you are finished creating your program and the TriCoder shuts off (goes to sleep in the middle
of programming – maybe you were interrupted and left to do something else), when you turn the TriCoder back on, you may get the
following message:
PROGRAM X INCOMPLETE
HIT ANY KEY_
Press any key to get past this prompt – You will need to enter the Programming Mode from the Main Menu where you will be
prompted for the password:
ENTER PASSWORD: _
Enter the password (WDTRI), then choose the number of the program you were working on, or the program that is giving you an
error, when you see the PROGRAM MODE menu:
PROGRAMMING MODE
PROGRAM #1 ------------------------- 1
PROGRAM #2 ------------------------- 2
PROGRAM #3 ------------------------- 3
MULTI PROGRAM MODE ---
OFF
4
DONE/EXIT ----------------------------- 0
PLEASE SELECT OPTION: _
Press the number of the program you were working on. Press
2
to EDIT PROGRAM 2. Once inside the program, press the
key
to locate the problem. If the program doesn‟t resemble what you were working on before, it is possible you have had some kind of
memory problem. See
Chapter 14

for more information. Otherwise, fix the problem, and then press
to check
and exit.
