Finishing and checking your program
When you have finished entering your program, press the 
key to have the TriCoder check your program for errors. If you have referenced a statement number that doesn‟t exist or hasn‟t been defined properly, you will see the message:
INVALID STMT. #
HIT ANY KEY_
Pressing a key will take you to the prompt statement number where the TriCoder found the problem. Make the appropriate
corrections then press the 
key again. If the TriCoder finds no other problems, you will see the Programming Mode Screen:
PROGRAMMING MODE | |
PROGRAM #1 | 1 |
PROGRAM #2 | 2 |
PROGRAM #3 | 3 |
MULTI PROGRAM MODE | OFF 4 |
DONE/EXIT | 0 |
PLEASE SELECT OPTION: _
You can now create another program by pressing 
key to return to the Main Menu.
If you don‟t press the 
key when you are finished creating your program and the TriCoder shuts off (goes to sleep in the middle of programming – maybe you were interrupted and left to do something else), when you turn the TriCoder back on, you may get the following message:
PROGRAM X INCOMPLETE
HIT ANY KEY_
Press any key to get past this prompt – You will need to enter the Programming Mode from the Main Menu where you will be prompted for the password:
ENTER PASSWORD: _
Enter the password (WDTRI), then choose the number of the program you were working on, or the program that is giving you an error, when you see the PROGRAM MODE menu:
PROGRAMMING MODE | |
PROGRAM #1 | 1 |
PROGRAM #2 | 2 |
PROGRAM #3 | 3 |
MULTI PROGRAM MODE | OFF 4 |
DONE/EXIT | 0 |
PLEASE SELECT OPTION: _
Press the number of the program you were working on. Press 2 to EDIT PROGRAM 2. Once inside the program, press the 
key to locate the problem. If the program doesn‟t resemble what you were working on before, it is possible you have had some kin d of
memory problem. See Chapter 14; Troubleshooting for more information. Otherwise, fix the problem, and then press 
to check and exit.
