HP 50g Format Sexagesimal Output
Hello,

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.

// 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
\>>
\>>

checksum: # A374h
bytes: 508.5

Regards,

Mark
