If “%” is set to “yes”, making it a valid program end-code, no program

end-code other than PRGRM NAME can be set to “yes”. If another

program end-code is set to “yes”, the “%” option is automatically set to

“no”. Refer to the descriptions for M-codes in chapter 10 for details.

M02, M30 -- refer to the descriptions for M-codes in chapter 10 for
details

M99 -- refer to the descriptions for M-codes in chapter 10 for details

% -- also used as end-of-tape code. Refer to section on STOP PRG
END

Important: If you set the “%” field to “yes”, the tape punch adds a %

code after the last block of every program that is output to tape.

PRGRM NAME -- if set to “yes”, a program name is recognized as the
end of the previous program. The program name must be in one of

these forms where xxxxx indicates an integer from 0 to 99999:

Oxxxxx

(ASCII)

:xxxxx

(EIA)

Nxxxxx

(except for N00000)

Important: If an N-code is used to designate the program name, be aware

that all part program blocks that contain N-codes will be interpreted as new

part programs.

If a program is loaded on a peripheral device, such as a tape reader, and

you want to send a copy of that program to control memory, follow these

steps:

1.

Verify that the peripheral device is connected to the correct serial port

and that the port is configured for that device (refer to page 9-1).

2.
