MCODE programming: help needed with asmnut 0.40.1

.NAME   "ML" PROMPT C

what I get is bits set to 0x33, i.e. "2 Digits, IND, IND ST, non-null Alpha . or ..". This is a 1:1 mapping from Meindert's list mentioned in an earlier post in this thread. A combination of Flags seems not possible because the 2x 2 extra bits is all the mainframe can work with as far as I understand.

Hi,

Sorry but I dont't understand. What is the PROMPT do you expect to create ? How many digits ? ALPHA ? IND ? ...
By the way, PROMPT C is not possible in asmnut. You must set a combination of 1 2 F 3 S I Y +. a and/or A,
For example, if you want a PROMPT of 3 digits, use

Code:

.NAME "3DIG" PROMPT 3

I you want a prompt of 2 digits limited to 0-55 and enable the IND, use:

Code:

.NAME "55IND" PROMPT FI

and so on...
What PROMPT do you want to set ?

The documentation is right. Don't look to the code, the comments may be outdated. This is the PROMPT I have in some functions:

Code:

                .NAME    "LA"    PROMPT    3
                .NAME    "LX"    PROMPT    3
                .NAME    "LB"    PROMPT    3
                .NAME    "LA"    PROMPT    3
                .NAME    "LX"    PROMPT    3
                .NAME    "XCF"    PROMPT 2IY
                .NAME    "XSF"    PROMPT 2IY
