  • In-Line Functions
    • In-line functions may be embedded in conditional and control statements. The comprehensive list of in-line functions are as follows:
      TEST - For logical tests
      nM> res x test("a string",EQS,"A STRING2")
nM> res x
  L: X               = 0
      CALC - For mathematical calculations
      nM> res x calc(10,20,+)
nM> res x
  D: X               = 30.0
      SEDIT - For string editing
      nM> res str sedit("a string",SUBS,"string","new string",LOCASE)
nM> res str
12S: STR             = a new string
      FILE - For file header and data access (Midas Blue files only)
      nM> res file(apenny.prm).getsize
  d: FILE(APENNY.PRM).GETSIZE = 128.0
X-Midas Users Take Note:
X-Midas treats a name with a following open-parens ("(") as an element in a file (Vectored Results), like:
    X-Midas> res <filename>(<index>)
In NeXtMidas, an element in a file is accessed as:
    nM> res FILE(<filename>).data(<offset>)
