NOTE[n]  or

xNOTE[n]


Operands


n

The number of new, blank =NOTE> or xNOTE> lines to be created. If n is omitted, the default is 1. 


Description


The NOTE or xNOTE line command provides a quick way to create a number of blank =NOTE> lines. These lines can then be typed-over with any desired information.


You can create either simple NOTE lines or use an alphabetic prefix character from A to Y to create different types of notes, such as CNOTE, MNOTE, etc. The last three note types (WNOTE, XNOTE and YNOTE) are treated as temporary Notes, that is, they will not be saved and restored by STATE saving.


xNOTE lines are most likely be used by some macro command, such as one used in conjunction with a compiler, to insert diagnostic message lines into the text based on the compiler output, perhaps using different xNOTE types for various error severity levels. SPFLite does not provide such macros; you would have to write them yourself.


The keyword ZNOTE is reserved for use on the primary command line; you cannot enter ZNOTE into the sequence area as a line command.
