A.06.00 Release Notes
[Part 1] [Part 2]
[Part 3]
DATE$ and TIME$
The DATE$ and TIME$ functions have been enhanced. When used without
an argument, they return the configured default date/time format.
In addition, you can now specify an arbitrary format.
For example:
DATE$("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
returns 1997-01-14 14:37.
See date(1) and strftime(3) for more information on date/time formats.
STORE, RE-STORE and LOAD statements
The STORE, RE-STORE and LOAD statements have been enhanced to take
care of the new Eloquence A.06.00 program format.
The new syntax is:
STORE "FileName" [,"ProtectCode"] [;"Option"]
RE-STORE "FileName" [,"ProtectCode"] [;"Option"]
LOAD "FileName" [,"ProtectCode"]
- ProtectCode
-
The optional protect code must be specified in order to edit a
protected program file or to save a program with password
protection.
When you load a protected program without the correct password, you
will neither be able to edit the program, nor will you be able to store
the program. If you give the wrong password, an error message is
returned by the LOAD statement.
When you specify a ProtectCode for the STORE and RE-STORE statements,
the program will be stored protected.
Since program protection is not prossible with program formats before
Eloquence A.06.00, this will use the new A.06.00 program format.
- Option
- the Option argument contains either the desired program format
or a comma separated list of program file options.
- Program compatibility option
- This option simply specifies the Eloquence revision, the
program format should be compatible to.
For example:
STORE "PrgName";"A.05.01"
- Program options
- Alternatively, you can specify a comma separated list of options
and settings which should be used to store the program file.
The folling options are currently supported:
| option | possible values | Comment |
|---|
| rev | A.xx.xx | Eloquence revision |
| fmt | HP260 | Compatible format |
| EXT | A.05.01 program format |
| TAG | A.06.00 program format |
| In addition the values 0,1,2 can be given |
STORE "PrgName";"rev=A.05.01"
STORE "PrgName";"fmt=TAG"
STORE "PrgName";"fmt=2"
- Error Messages
-
62 - File is protected or wrong protect code specified
66 - You are not authorized to store this program
PAGE LENGTH statement
The PAGE LENGTH statement provides an additional option.
The new syntax is:
PAGE LENGTH Lines [,Top[,Botm]][;Option]
When option is nonzero, a formfeed character (CHR$(12)) is printed
to eject the page instead of counting line feed characters.
This will use the configured printer page length to determine
form length.
Improved IMAGE format handling
When the enviroment variable EQ_USE_NLS is defined, the Eloquence
IMAGE format handling is performed slightly different.
When activated, the "R" and "P" formats no longer return a hard-coded
decimal point or comma but use the values provided by the locale
environment (LC_NUMERIC). This makes it possible to use the same
set of IMAGE formats for a multi-locale program.
For example:
PRINT USING "3DP3DR2D";1234.5
When EQ_USE_NLS is not set, this returns " 1.234,50".
When activated, using the de_DE locale, this results in
" 1.234,50",
using the en_US locale this results in " 1,234.50".
