Load and run another program in place of the current one. Unlike RUN, CHAIN keeps all variables and arrays, so the chained program can continue from the current state.
CHAIN file$
file$ - program file to load
The chained program starts fresh (its own line numbers and labels). Control does not return to the caller; when the chained program ends, the program stops. COMMON is accepted as a compatibility declaration before CHAIN.
Example:
A = 41
CHAIN "PART2.BAS"PART2.BAS:
PRINT A + 1Source: docs/help/chain.txt inmmcore. On the computer, typeHELP CHAIN.
