ADVERB
Type: General type of POPS symbol Use: Adverbs are the symbols used to address values. They may be REAL (single-precision floating point), ARRAY (multiply-dimensioned REALs), or STRING (character strings with or without subscripts). The user may create new adverbs by defining them while typing or editing procedures. Grammar: Adverb names may be used either in compile mode or in regular execute mode. In the former, their pointers are compiled with the procedure and their values, at the time the procedure is invoked, are used during the execution of the procedure. Usage examples: ARRAY2 = ARRAY1 ARRAY3(I,J) = 23.6 CHAN = 4 STRARRY = ’STR1’,’STR2’,’STR3’,STRAR2 DUM3 (24, I, STRARRY) =====> Character string data must be enclosed in quotes! =====> This allows the compiler to tell data from adverb names and allows embedded special characters. **************************************************************** ALIAS adverb to alias antenna numbers to one another ALLOKAY specifies that initial conditions have been met.
