passign

passign — Assigns a range of p-fields to ivariables.

Description

Assigns a range of p-fields to ivariables.

Syntax

 ivar1, ... passign [istart]

Initialisation

The optional argument istart gives the index of the first p-field to assign. The default value is 1, corresponding to the instrument number.

One of the variables can be a string variable, in which case it is assigned the only string parameter, if there is one, or an error otherwise.

Performance

passign transfers the instrument p-fields to instrument variables, starting with the one identified by the istart argument. There should not be more variables than p-fields, but there may be fewer.
