Effect
Launches the assembler that will convert the ASF file (ASCII Source File) of your source into a BOF file (Binary Object File).
Associated function key in set 2: F5
Syntax
CALL ASM("<Device>:<Filename>")
Note: The final part ") can be omitted.
Parameters
<Device> is the name for used device. It can only be a disk drive.
If you don't specify the drive, the computer will use the currently active drive (by default, it's drive A:)
| Device type | Device name | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Disk drive | A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H | A floppy disk interface can control up to 2 drives. |
<Filename> is a string that contains name of the BASIC source you want to assemble. The format is 8 characters followed by a point and an extension with 3 characters. (Not case sensitive) - It can be omitted when it's not your first try to assemble this source.
You can always omit the extension because the instruction will automatically add the ASF extension (ASF = ASCII Source File). It will produce a BOF file on disk.
Example
_ASM("RAMSLOT")
