AUTO Verb - Automatic Program Line Numbering

Syntax

AUTO {lineno{,increment}}

Description

The AUTO verb starts automatic line numbering (AUTO) mode, which prompts the user with a line number.

Parameter

Description

lineno

Starting line number for AUTO mode. The default is 10.

increment

Line number increment. The default is 10.

To exit AUTO mode, press return without entering anything.

AUTO mode does not allow replacement or interleaving of existing program lines and issues an !ERROR=21. AUTO continues until such a condition exists, and PRO/5 exits AUTO mode.

A program line containing an error cannot cause an exit from AUTO mode. To correct a line, either exit AUTO mode and correct the error, or continue and return to it later.

Examples

>AUTO 1000
>1000 FOR X=1 TO 20
>1010 PRINT A[X]
>1020 NEXT X
>1030
