Problem with program conversion?
Message #1 Posted by Iqbal on 3 June 2004, 9:11 p.m.

I converted all my GX programs to my 49G+. The problem is when the result is displayed, the last prompt also remains on the display. Is there a way to get rid of this last prompt and only have the result displayed?

Check out this example. The program uses Trapezoidal rule to calculate the area.

« 0 0 0  N D L « 0 ¨LIST 'L' STO "Strip Width?" PROMPT 'D' STO "No of Offsets?" PROMPT 'N' STO 1 STD N FOR i "Offset " i + PROMPT L + 'L' STO NEXT 4 FIX L HEAD L TAIL 'L' STO L REVLIST 'L' STO L HEAD + L TAIL IF N 3 SAME THEN HEAD ELSE …LIST END 2 * + 2 / D * 1 FIX "m" + ² + " Area = " SWAP + CLLCD 3 DISP 7 FREEZE 4 FIX » »

When the area is displayed, the last prompt [the 3rd if there are 3 offsets] is also displayed. Only solution is diosplayed in GX

You have no solution if you insist on using PROMPT
since it uses the new header area and thus behaves differently.
Use other input methods or use SysRPL
