Programming Preparations for BASICA

A BASICA language code block must be executed before the main body
of your application program.

Place the file

DECL.BAS

, which contains this code block, at the

beginning of the application program, with appropriate adjustments to
line numbers. Refer to the BASICA MERGE command.

DECL.BAS

contains code which loads the file

BIB.M

into memory. The file

BIB.M

contains the BASICA language interface to the GPIB-PC

handler, and must exist in the directory currently in use.
