Description LMSG(47) is used to output a 32-character message to a Programming Con-
sole. The message to be output must be in ASCII beginning in word S and end-
ing in S+15, unless a shorter message is desired. A shorter message can be pro-
duced by placing a null character (00) into the string; no characters from the null
character on will be output.
To output to the Programming Console, it must be set in TERMINAL mode. Al-
though LMSG(47) will be executed as normal, the message will not appear cor-
rectly on the Programming Console unless TERMINAL mode is set. Refer to
5-25-6 TERMINAL MODE – TERM(48)
for details on switching to TERMINAL
mode.
When pin 6 of the CPU’s DIP switch is OFF, the Programming Console can be
switched to TERMINAL mode by pressing the CHG Key or by executing
TERM(48) in the program. When pin 6 of the CPU’s DIP switch is ON, the Pro-
gramming Console can be switched to Expansion TERMINAL mode by turning
on bit AR 0709.
Flags ER: S and S+15 are not in the same data area.
Indirectly addressed DM word is non-existent. (Content of :DM word is
not BCD, or the DM area boundary has been exceeded.)
Example Although the display is longer and there is a choice of output devices, the coding
for LMSG(47) is the same as that for MSG(46). Refer to
Example
under the pre-
vious section for an example using MSG(46).

Description When the execution condition is OFF, TERM(48) is not executed. When the exe-
cution condition is ON, TERM(48) switches the Programming Console to TER-
MINAL mode. (Instructions MSG(46), LMSG(47), and the keyboard mapping
function are executed in TERMINAL mode.)
The Programming Console will return to CONSOLE mode when the CHG key is
pressed again. There is no instruction that returns the Programming Console to
CONSOLE mode from the program.
The Programming Console can also be switched to TERMINAL mode by press-
ing the CHG key on the Programming Console before inputting the password or
when the mode is being displayed provided that pin 6 of the CPU’s DIP switch is
OFF. The Programming Console will return to CONSOLE mode when the CHG
key is pressed again.
When pin 6 of the CPU’s DIP switch is ON, the Programming Console can be
switched to Expansion TERMINAL mode by turning on bit AR 0709.
