MC-Basic:PROMPT

This statement takes information you type and stores it in a list of variables. The values of the variables are entered via the SENDDATA command.

<str_value> - String to be printed (option)

<, var_name1> - variable names to be input

<, var_nameN> - variable names to be input

Variable types must match. Otherwise, an error message is returned and you will again be prompted to enter the correct variable types. If multiple variables are required, the respective values entered must be separated by commas. If multiple variables are required and there is an error in one of the inputs, the entire series must be re-entered.
