10.3 String Tables - Saving Strings and String Tables
In this exercise, you will save the strings from the previous exercises to
the user-defined string table LEARN.
- List strings in the string table.
- Type: TL
You should see five user-defined strings (CT,KEYF4,NOTE,T,WORLDMAP) and
two system strings (H,Y) as shown below.
TL
CT := ZA "#H
H := 20:42:30
KEYF4 := ZA "USA
NOTE := MAP OF THE ENTIRE WORLD!
STATE := TX
STATION := KLAR
T := ZA "20:12:07
WORLDMAP := MAP WORL 3 BOX=NO
Y := 1999362
--END OF LIST
TL without any parameters lists
the first 20 strings in the table that start with a number or
a letter.
- List all the strings in the string table.
- Type: TL OUT
Using the OUT parameter lists all strings in the string table, including
the global string, ?CROSS.
- Save the strings you created in a string table named LEARN.
- Type: TU SAVE LEARN
A copy of each string is saved in the user-defined string table LEARN.
The strings also remain in the current string table until you delete them
or restore another user-defined string table.
- List all user-defined string tables on your workstation.
- Type: TU LIST
You should see a string table named LEARN with your initials associated
with it.
# NUM SAVE NAME INIT PROJ SAVED RESTORE USER
--- --- ------------ ---- ---- ------- ------- ----
1 1 LEARN USER 9999 1999362
- Delete all the strings in the string table.
- Type: TD ALL
TD ALL removes the regular strings from the current string table, but
does not remove the global or system strings.
Also, when you saved the strings into the user-defined string table LEARN,
a copy of each string was stored in LEARN and a copy remained in the
string table. When you deleted the strings, they were removed from the
current string table, but not from the user-defined string table LEARN.
