The sample code below should be entered inside the Edit window's Command mode and not inside the File I/O dialog box.
The following code opens test.txt and reads through the file. As long as the end of file hasn't been reached (designated with the code, WHILE/!EOF), PC-DMIS reads through the file character by character, and assigns a character to V1.
If PC-DMIS reaches the end of a line in the file, PC-DMIS shows the last character on that line.
This repeats until PC-DMIS reaches the end of the file. PC-DMIS then shows the text "End of File Reached…".
FPTR=FILE/OPEN,D:\temp\test.txt,READ
WHILE/!EOF("FPTR")
V1=FILE/READ_CHARACTER,FPTR
IF/EOL("FPTR")
COMMENT/OPER,NO,"End of Line Reached. The last character is:"
,V1
END_IF/
END_WHILE/
COMMENT/OPER,NO,"End of File Reached..."
Command Mode Commands after Comments
After you insert a PC-DMIS comment, to type additional PC-DMIS commands in Command Mode, you must first press Enter twice after the COMMENT command. This tells PC-DMIS that you no longer want to add text to the comment but are ready to add a new command.
