uProgram and Text File Conversion Rules

Conversion of program and text files is subject to the following rules.

Certain characters in the program name are automatically replaced and the result is assigned as the file name whenever you convert a program to a text file. When you convert from a text file to a program, the program name is assigned by converting in the opposite direction.

The following header information is added to the text file when converting from a program to a text file.

'Program Mode: RUN (RUN Mode program)

'Program Mode: BASE (BASE Mode program)

Converting a text file that contains the above header information to a program converts to a program of the mode specified in the header information. The header information line text is not included in the converted program.

Converting a program to a text file causes all CASIO scientific function calculator-specific commands in the program to be replaced by special corresponding character strings. Conversely, converting from a text file to a program converts the special character strings back to their corresponding commands. For information about program commands and their

corresponding special character strings, see “CASIO Scientific Function Calculator Special Commands Text Conversion Table” (page 8-59).
