Title: How to make axe program stores/loads from external var?
Post by: Yeong on September 10, 2011, 05:32:56 pm

Is it possible to write a program that takes a variable A from actual calc and store it to var A in calc?
EDIT: If it's possible, how do I do it?

You mean, like the TIOS vars A-Z, that basic uses?  I think it's 2nd+7 (the u), then the letter.  It shows it that way in the documentation at least.
EDIT:

Quote from: Documentation.pdf

"prgmABC" "appvABC" "grpABC" "LABC" "L1" "varA" "Str1" "GDB1" "Y1" "[A]" "Ans"

The Program ABC The Appvar ABC The Group ABC (Archive Only) The List ABC The List L1 The Real number A The String Str1 The Graph database GDB1 The Equation Y1 The Matrix [A] The Ans variable

It seems so.  I think you have to Getcalc() it first, tho.

You would need to do:

Code: [Select]

GetCalc("varA")->P
A->float{P}
Real vars are covered in my external vars tutorial (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=articles;sa=view;article=58).

Oh thanks XD
I asked you that because I can't do anything else while running DSC7 curser routine, so I was trying to create my own.

You should always have error handling code when dealing with OS variable reading/creating. Here are routines for both directions, with error handling.


OS float to Axe variable:

Code: [Select]

If GetCalc("varA")  .var is the u token found at 2nd+7
float{}→A           .float{ is the fPart( token
Else
.Not found
End

Axe variable to OS float:

Code: [Select]

A→float{GetCalc("varA",7)}
!If  and 0
.Not enough RAM
End
