You can call subprograms or paramacros within an MDI program;
however, there are limitations to the allowable commands. See chapter 10
on subprograms or chapter 20 on paramacros for details on illegal MDI
commands for these features.
Operating procedures in the MDI mode are as follows:
1. With the control in MDI mode, the control is ready to accept standard
programming blocks.
2. Key in programming blocks (see the programming section of this
manual beginning with chapter 10). Each block, a maximum of 62
characters long, must be separated with an end of block character
[EOB]. The blocks entered appear in the input area of the screen
(lines 2 and 3). You should enter the complete MDI program on
these lines since once you send the blocks to control memory, you
cannot edit or add-to them.
