DATAMAKER (7)..THE PURPOSE OF THIS UTILI TY IS TO READ THE CONTENTS OF A SPECIFIE D MEMORY RANGE AND TURN IT INTO DATA STA TEMENTS. YOU CAN FREELY MERGE DATA STAT EMENTS INTO ANY BASIC PROGRAM. OR YOU C AN CREATE A STAND-ALONE PROGRAM CONTAINI NG THE DATA STATEMENTS ONLY. ALL PARAME TERS ARE SPECIFIED IN DECIMAL, BUT YOU C AN USE HEXADECIMAL NUMBERS BY PRECEDING THE NUMBER WITH A DOLLAR SIGN (EVEN WHEN SPECIFYING LINE NUMBERS!). THE PROCEDU RE IS AS FOLLOWS:..BANK:.THE BANK NUMBER (0-15) FROM WHICH TO READ THE DESIRED D ATA...START ADDRESS:.THE FIRST MEMORY AD DRESS OF THE DATA...END ADDRESS:.THE LAS T MEMORY ADDRESS OF THE DATA...FIRST LIN E:.THE LINE NUMBER OF THE FIRST LINE...I NCREMENT:.LINE NUMBER INCREMENT...LINE L ENGTH:.THE NUMBER OF DATA ELEMENTS PER L INE. IF YOU SPECIFY A GREATER NUMBER OF DATA ELEMENTS PER LINE THAN WOULD ACTUA LLY FIT, THE DATAMAKER WILL ALWAYS PACK AS MANY DATA ELEMENTS AS POSSIBLE ON EAC H LINE AND PLACE THE REST ON THE NEXT LI NE (WHICH IN TURN WILL BE AS LONG AS POS SIBLE)...TYPE (1-5):.THIS WILL DETERMINE HOW THE NUMBERS IN THE DATA STATEMENTS WILL BE REPRESENTED. THERE ARE FIVE TYP ES OF DATA STATEMENTS AVAILABLE FOR MAXI MUM FLEXIBILITY: 1 = DECIMAL WITH GAPS (251, 74, 86, ETC.), 2 = DECIMAL WITHOUT GAPS (251,74,86,), 3 = HEX WITH GAPS (F B, 4A, 56, ), 4 = HEX WITHOUT GAPS (FB,4 A,56,), 5 = HEX WITHOUT GAPS, NOR COMMAS (FB4A56). THE LATTER IS POSSIBLE BECAU SE HEX VALUES ARE ALWAYS TWO CHARACTERS LONG, SO THEY CAN BE SEPARATED BY USING MID$. PLEASE USE THIS FUNCTION AND SEE THE BASIC PROGRAM IT CREATES. THIS VARI ANT IS THE MOST COMPACT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE SLOWEST. TYPE 2 IS THE FASTES T TO RUN. PLEASE NOTE THAT TYPES 3, 4 A ND 5 CONTAIN HEXADECIMAL NUMBERS, AND IS THEREBY NOT USABLE IF THE RESULTING PRO GRAM IS TO BE RUN IN 64 MODE...A LITTLE TIP: SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE PRACTICAL TO KNOW THE ACTUAL ADDRESS EACH DATA ELEME NT WAS TAKEN FROM. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLI SHED BY USING LINE NUMBERS IN A CUNNING WAY:..DECIDE HOW MANY DATA ELEMENTS YOU WISH TO PUT ON EACH LINE..MULTIPLY THE N UMBER BY TWO, AND SUBTRACT THE RESULTING FIGURE FROM THE START ADDRESS..SPECIFY THE RESULTING FIGURE AS INITIAL LINE NUM BER..THEN USE THE SAME VALUE FOR LINE NU MBER INCREMENT AS THE NUMBER OF DATA ELE MENTS YOU DECIDED TO PUT ON EACH LINE... NOW, EACH LINE NUMBER WILL SHOW THE ACTU AL ADDRESS OF THE FIRST DATA ELEMENT ON THAT LINE..
