LOAD

LOAD

LOAD file_spec [,{"R"|"T"}]

Loads the program stored in a file into memory. Existing variables will be cleared and any program in memory will be erased. LOAD implies a [CLEAR](CLEAR).

If ,"R" is specified, keeps all data files open and runs the specified file. If ,"T" is specified, loads a tokenized program.

Parameters

The string expression file_spec is a valid filespec indicating the file to read the program from.

Notes

• Unlike Microsoft BASIC, SE Basic IV always expects BASIC programs to be in plain text format.
• Unlike Microsoft BASIC, the R directive must be in quotes. Otherwise SE Basic IV would treat it as a variable.

Errors

• file_spec has a numeric value: Type mismatch.
• file_spec contains disallowed characters: Bad file name.
• The file specified in file_spec cannot be found: File not found.
• A loaded text file contains lines without line numbers: Direct statement in file.
