Description #

Ans contains the name of the program you want to use in a string, then you use the function, then you run the generated temporary program file according to temp_prog_number. But, you’ll need to know the function codes to further explain how this works:

• 0: Copy file to a file numbered by temp_prog_number
• 1: Delete a temporary file numbered by temp_prog_number
• 2: Delete all temporary files.

For example, say you wanted to copy an archived program “FOO” to prgmXTEMP002, do the following:
“FOO”:det(11,0,2):prgmXTEMP002

If you wanted to do this to an ASM program “BAR” and have it copied to the 12th temporary file, do the following:
“BAR”:det(11,0,12):Asm(prgmXTEMP012)

If you decided you are done with the copy of “FOO” from the first example and you wanted to delete it, do this:
det(11,1,2)

That will delete prgmXTEMP002 but will not touch the original file.

If you want to clean up (get rid of all temp files), you can do the following:
det(11,2

Files will not be overwritten if you attempt to copy to a preexisting temp file.

Arguments #

“PRGMNAME
det(11,function,temp_prog_number)

You can run the resultant temporary program via one of the following, depending on format:
prgmXTEMP0XX or :Asm(prgmXTEMP0XX)

Note that only prgmXTEMP000 to prgmXTEMP015 are valid; anything above prgmXTEMP015 will return Undefined.
