Version 2.1 is already in AppStore review, so this function will be implemented in next release.
Re: 2.1 version
I just got 2.1. Great job. It was my error. I had forgotten that VAL was never defined in this basic although it is an easy thing to do with a def statement. It isn't defined is why it isn't in the manual. Sorry about my error.Mr. Kibernetik wrote:Ok.Dalede wrote:The VAL command was left out of the manual.

The only basic function that I believe is missing in this version is the ability to restore the data statements to a specific label. That would be a very nice addition.
It would also be nice to follow the ecma rule of autodefining string conversions for simple strings in a data statement so that quotes wouldn't be needed for simple values (ones with no space) but since quotes always work this is a minor point.

How do you see the syntax of this feature?Dalede wrote:The only basic function that I believe is missing in this version is the ability to restore the data statements to a specific label. That would be a very nice addition.
Can you please give some examples to illustrate your idea.Dalede wrote:It would also be nice to follow the ecma rule of autodefining string conversions for simple strings in a data statement so that quotes wouldn't be needed for simple values (ones with no space) but since quotes always work this is a minor point.
Re: 2.1 version
Section 17 of the ECMA standard provides the examples and says,
DATA datum, ..., datum
where each datum is either a numeric constant, a string-constant or an unquoted string.
17.2 Syntax
1. data-statement = DATA data-list
2. data-list = datum (comma datum)*
17.3 Examples
DATA 3.14159, PI, 5E-10, ","
Note that PI is an unquoted string while the more complicated , at the end is a quoted string since , is a special character.
Here is an example of needed restores
Months:
Data Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June, July, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec
Days:
Data Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat
Restore Month
Would cause the next read statement to read data of the months while:
Restore Days
Would cause the next read statement to read the days of the week.
Read day$
Note is a case of mixed values the variable type would interpret the statement correctly.
DATA 3.14159 would be interpreted as a string if "read A$" is used while it is a number if "read A" is used.
