Tape with Program End = M02, M30, M99

This particular tape format allows single- or multi-program format on a

tape. It also lets you enter either M02, M30, or M99 as a program end

code. See chapter 10 for details on legal program end codes. Figure 10.1

shows a typical configuration for a multiple program tape with M30 and

M99 as program end codes.

If the first block of the file program is a filename, you can set AUTO

FILENAME to “yes” to create filenames for all subsequent programs. If

AUTO FILENAME is set to “no” and if no filenames are included in the

programs on the tape, you have to enter all filenames from the keyboard

when prompted. For more information, see the section on O-word

programming in this chapter.

The control automatically recognizes EIA or ASCII during input when it

reads the first EOB code from the tape.
