Question

A question statement creates a program prompt that the user answers YES or NO to. Data is not stored to memory for this type of statement; a YES answer directs the program to one statement number while a NO answer directs the program to another statement number. The question statement is answered by pressing the YES or NO key on the TriCoder keypad.

When creating a question statement, the programmer will only see 5 program statement fields; ENTRY TYPE, PROMPT, VOICE MESSAGES, YES/NEXT STMT and NO/END STMT. The ENTRY TYPE prompt for a question statement looks like this:

ENTRY TYPE --------------------------- Q

The PROMPT TEXT field determines what the user sees on the display screen for this field. Here is an example of a PROMPT TEXT field for a question statement:

ENTRY TYPE ---------------------------	Q
PROMPT TEXT:
DAMAGED GOODS?

The MESSAGE NUMBER field defines the voice messages you want to play for this statement.

VOICE FREQ: E --- MSG#: 0100

The next field prompt, the YES/NEXT STMT prompt, determines which statement the YES key takes the program to. For example, if we wanted the program to jump to statement #05 if we answer YES to statement #01, the prompt should look like this:

YES/NEXT STATEMENT ---------- 02

The NO/END STMT prompt determines where the program goes if the question is answered with the NO key. If we wanted the NO key to take us to statement #03 in the example above, our NO/END STMT prompt should look like this:

NO/END STATEMENT ---------- 03

Date and Time Stamp

The Date and Time Stamp statement requires no action from the user. By specifying S as the statement ENTRY TYPE, the TriCoder accesses its internal real-time clock and writes the current date and time information to memory when the program statement is executed. By default, this information is not displayed by the TriCoder when the statement is executed, but it can be displayed simply by entering DIS in the DATA ID field of the program statement.

The default format of the date and time stamp is

MMDDYYHHMM (if USA)

The format can be changed using the Date& Time Formats setup parameter.

If you want to add seconds to the time portion of the Date and Time stamp, use s instead of S.

ENTRY TYPE --------------------------- s

The Date and Time Stamp statement uses only 3 programming statement fields; ENTRY TYPE, DATA ID and YES/NEXT STMT.
