HP41CX - small remarks Message #3 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 3 Aug 2003, 5:31 p.m., in response to message #1 by Richard McDonald
Hi, Richard;
just to add that PCLPS will be effective if executed while at least one program is the current one OR if an specific global label is in ALPHA register. If ALPHA is empty and the calculator is "positioned" to the last program in memory (the one with the permanent .END.), nothing will be cleared. It's also important to keep in mind that all programs after the one you clear with PCLPS will be cleared as well.
As Ernie mentioned, the "Master Clear" procedure is the standard "clear all" resource for the hP41 series, and you should see
[MEMORY LOST]
if you succeed performming it. As you mentioned, if you pressed [ENTER][CLx][ON] and nothing happend is because this is not the correct sequence; please, do as Ernie explainned and you'll probably achieve a memory clear.
Success. Should you need more advice, please, let us know.
Luiz (Brazil)
