October 1, 1979 FRESS COMMANDS INSERT DECIMAL BLOCK
Edit


ID


• ID Insert Decimal Block ____________________________
IDBLOCK creates a Decimal Block containing the new text.


iip IDblock <___>° <label>° <keys>° <dkeys>° <text>


<iip>....the point after which the Block is inserted
<text>...the string to be contained in the Block
NOTES _____
• Two Implied Insert Pointers are created by IDBLOCK: the first
points to the character before the Block, and the second, to
the last character of the new Block (see &POP for an example of
how to utilize this feature).
• IDBLOCK is similar to the IBLOCK command except that it creates
a Decimal Block.
• IDBLOCK is the typical means used to input the sections of a
file structured with Decimal Blocks.
• IDBLOCK always "pops" the Implied Insert Stack, even if <iip>
is specified (see &POP for a further explanation).
