If dx is smaller than the number of driver parameters specified in the DP parameter lists, the list of driver parameters will be truncated to length dx and an error message will be issued. For example, if the DVT command is:

DVT ... , DX:2, DP:2:3:6:7, ...

the driver parameters would be:

DP 1 = 0 (set to zero by dx parameter)

DP 2 = 3 (set by DP:2:3:6:7)

the rest of the driver parameter list specified with DP:2:3:6:7 (the starting dp parameter is 2) is truncated because space for only two driver parameters was specified with the DX:2 parameter.

DP:start_#:a:b:c:d:e

specifies the starting driver parameter and a list of driver parameter values up to a maximum of five. Each parameter in the list is separated by a colon. The start# parameter indicates the first driver parameter being specified, and the following parameters are the actual driver parameter values. If more than five parameters are required (for example, with a disk) another •DP:start_#:f:g:h:i:j" entry is required for each group of additional dp values. For example, if the default file has specified the following parameters:

... DP:1:A:B:C:D:E, DP:6:F:G:H:I:J ...

assuming that dx is 10, the values put into the driver parameter locations will be:

DP 1

= A

(A,B,C,D, and E specified by

DP 2

= B

DP:1:A:B:C:D:E)

DP 3

= C

 

DP 4

= D

 

DP 5

= E

 

DP 6

= F

 

DP 7

= G

 

DP 8

= H

(Specified by the 2nd DP entry

DP 9

= I

DP:6:F:G:H:I:J)

DP 10

= J

 

If certain parameters must be replaced (that is, values other than these defaults are desired), the DP parameter in the DVT command can be used to effect the change. For example, if the following was entered instead of using the defaults mentioned earlier:

DVT,%DD*30,M7906:0,...,DP:1:Q:R:S:,DP:8:X:Y,
