Obsolete Entry Points, PROCs, and Routines
J.1.3. A$EPKTSFDT
A$EPKTSFDT procedure generates a 14-word AEDIT$ packet. This packet is used for
date and time editing.
Calling Sequence
label A$EPKTSFDT image-length,image-address [‘MSG’,msg];
[‘FPS’,fps] [‘FPR’,fpr] [‘DPC’,dpc];
[‘SPC’,spc] [‘DFT’,date-format] [‘TFT’,time-format];
[‘SEP’,separator-character]
J.1.4. Examples of Generating the AEDIT$ Packet
Example 1
$(0)
PACKET A$EPKT 20,ASCIILINE .AEDIT$ packet
ASCIILINE $RES 20 .Data area for ASCII image
In example 1, the MASM procedure A$EPKT generates a seven-word packet at the
location PACKET in location counter 0. AEDIT$ uses this packet for general-purpose
ASCII editing, but not for floating-point numbers or data and time formats. AEDIT$ will
store the generated ASCII string in the 20-word data area at location ASCIILINE. The
message halt character defaults to “&”.
Example 2
LINELEN $EQU 33 .Length of ASCII data area
$(4)
LINE $RES LINELEN .Data area for ASCII image
PACKET A$EPKTSFDT LINELEN,LINE ‘DFT’,8 ‘TFT’,3 .AEDIT$ packet
In example 2, the MASM procedure A$EPKTSFDT generates a 14-word packet for ASCII
editing with date and time formats. AEDIT$ will store the generated ASCII string in the
33-word data area at location LINE. AEDIT$ uses date format index 8 and time format
index 3. AEDIT$ uses the default values for the msg, fps, dps, spc, and
separator-character parameters.
J.2. CONWRD$–MASM PROCs and Entry Points
These entry points to the CONWRD$ routine are replaced by the C$ONWRD PROC
(see Section 7). The common bank entry points are
BCWSET$
Sets bit 8 of the condition word; if bit 8 was already set, then set bit 7.
BCWCLEAR$
Clears bit 8 of the condition word; it does not affect bit 7.
