E$WT(10)–Write and Terminate
Obsolete Entry Points, PROCs, and Routines
The edited image is transmitted to the specified device, and the routine returns
control to the next instruction in machine language mode. The image is not reset to
blanks.
E$W(11)–Write
The edited image is transmitted to the specified device and the routine continues in
the interpretive mode. The image is reset to blanks.
E$WS(12)–Write and Save
The edited image is transmitted to the specified device and the routine continues to
the next instruction in the interpretive mode. The image remains available for use by
further output functions or further editing.
J.3.3. Modal Functions
The modal functions serve to enter information that affects the interpretation of one or
more of the instructions that follow. The number given in parentheses following the
procedure call is the octal function code.
E$SCL(13)–Set Scale
The contents of the address field are treated as a signed power of 10 to be applied
to any floating-point or floating-to-fixed function that follows the set scale function.
For floating-point, the scale is the number of digits to be printed to the left of the
decimal point. The exponent field is reduced accordingly, so that the resulting value
is the same as if no set scale function were in effect. Negative values of the
address (the 16-bit ones complement) introduce leading zeros after the decimal point
and increase the exponent field accordingly.
For floating-to-fixed conversion, the actual value of the resulting number is altered by
multiplying it by the power of 10 indicated by the address. The set scale function
remains in effect until it is countermanded by a new set scale. Upon initial entry to
EOUT$, the scale is assumed to be 0.
E$PNT(14)–Set Point
The set point function specifies the position of the binary point for the next editing
function to be encountered (presumably a decimal editing function). It remains in
effect only for the single edit. The address of the set point gives the number of bits
following the binary point. Negative values are permitted (see E$FLD).
