Effect
Selects the mode (CALL or LOCAL) and sets the break keys, that can be detected with CALL MRING.
Notes:
- The LOCAL mode allows to log in yourself.
- A break key will allow to interrupt RING and DIAL routines, just by pressing it. Without break key, the interruption of these routines can only happen with CTRL+STOP. It's not recommended, as this key combo will break a BASIC program without ON STOP GOSUB routine.
Syntax
CALL SET(<String>)
Parameter
<String> is a string of minimum 3 characters and maximum 4 characters, with using of CHR$(), juste like for the SPRITE$() instruction.
| Position | Meaning | Characters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mode | CHR$(0) = CALL mode - all is sent over the phone and printed on the screen CHR$(1) = LOCAL mode - all is only printed on the screen |
| 2 | Row of 2 break keys in keyboard matrix | 1st number is for 2nd break key (F when no 2nd break key) 2nd number is for 1st break key |
| 3 | Binary code in matrix for 1st break key | Decimal conversion of the binary code |
| 4 | Binary code in matrix for 2nd break key | Decimal conversion of the binary code |
It is recommended to choose the break keys in the rows 6 to 8 of the keyboard matrix. See Keyboard Matrices for more info.
Example
Local mode + CODE key as break key + no 2nd break key (on an European machine):
CALL SET(CHR$(1)+CHR$(F6)+CHR$(16))
Explanations:
- the CODE key is in row 6 of the keyboard matrix ----> F6 because no 2nd break key
- the CODE key is in column 4 of the keyboard matrix --->in binary, we have 00010000 = 16 in decimal
