RE: HP 50g Format Sexagesimal Output
With [code ] tags around the listing, the text looks nicer.

This post is meant to correct my erroneous code posted on 06-29-2014, thread
HP 50g Surveyor's Stuff. The code does not cover all situations where there are
sixty seconds displayed, which is not allowed in sexagesimal measurement. I
would appreciate any help concerning my thought process and code.

Code:
// Format sexagesimal output
\<< 4 RND \->STR DUP
SIZE
  \<< "59" SAME   // check for 59 minutes
      \<< STR\-> CEIL \->STR   // add 1 degree
      \>>
      \<< STR\-> .01 + \->STR   // add 1 minute
      \>> IFTE
  \>> \-> str size Degmin
  \<<
      CASE size 6 ==
        THEN str 5 6
SUB "60" SAME   // check for 60 seconds
        \<< str 5 "00"
REPL DUP 3 4 SUB
Degmin EVAL
        \>>
        \<< str
        \>> IFTE
      END size 7 ==
      THEN str 6 7
SUB "60" SAME   // check for 60 seconds
        \<< str 6 "00"
REPL DUP 4 5 SUB
Degmin EVAL
        \>>
        \<< str
        \>> IFTE
      END size 8 ==
      THEN str 7 8
SUB "60" SAME   // check for 60 seconds
        \<< str 7 "00"
REPL DUP 5 6 SUB
Degmin EVAL
        \>>
        \<< str
        \>> IFTE
      END
    END
  \>>
\>>
