- - Generates internal command $CALL L101 L103
- Input command on EDI serial port: disconnect,101,103
- - Generates internal commands $C L101
tmp 0 "%scutf(%edi,\,,0)" tmp 1 "%scutf(%edi,\,,1)" tmp 2 "%scutf(%edi,\,,2)" if %scmp(%tmp(0),connect) $CALL L%tmp(1) L%tmp(2) stop endif if %scmp(%tmp(0),disconnect) $C L%tmp(1) endif
