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.
