RPN Question for clearing flags
Message #1 Posted by Sancerre (Phoenix) on 22 Nov 2008, 6:46 p.m.

I have an RPN question based upon a posting by Caspar L at: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/articles.cgi?read=896.

On the 13th line, the code is 'EQN CF0,CF1, ,CFN'.

I am a newbie to RPN programming, and I haven't figured out to enter this line of code. Thanks for any and all help.

It suggest more likely a CashFlow series than a ClearFlag....

If the calculator is a 32Sii or a 33S, "equations" are used in a particular manner to show prompts on the display. In such a case, the "equation" is merely a piece of text to be shown, and is never evaluated (in fact, it may be erroneous as per equation syntax).
