Facts 7.7 and PVX Plus 9.1 - Running Character Based FM's

Legacy Contributor

I have a customer upgrading from 7.6 to 7.7. This customer has a large numbers of character based FM’s in 7.6 that I am moving to 7.7 “as is”. When the FM’s run the input labels are cleared from the screen. Did some research and have found that the SB, set background, mnemonic is not working. When the program prints CF, clear foreground, the entire screen is cleared.

I ran the same tests on a 7.8 demo and the mnemonic works there. So I am thinking that that there is some parameter or command required in PVX Plus to make this work. Maybe something is set in start_up or the menu driver for 7.8

Has anyone else run into this? Thanks.

Danny, just for grins I tried this in my 7.7.7 demo (with Pvx Plus 9.1), and the word 'TEST' did not get erased upon the 'CF'. It displayed in background, and was not erased.

Don't know if this info helps or not.

0010 begin
0020 print 'SB',@(10,5),"TEST",
0030 print 'CF',
0040 escape
