Chapter 9: Debugger Commands
Memory Assign
Memory Assign
The Memory Assign command changes the contents of the memory location
specified by < addr> to the value or values defined by the expression < expr>
or expression string < expr_string> . The size of the memory elements to be
modified is specified by one of the size qualifiers (Byte, Word, or Long).
Expression strings are specified as ASCII characters enclosed in quotation
marks and/or as a list of values separated by commas. Expressions and
expression string elements will be truncated or padded as required, based on
the size qualifier.
Memory values can be entered interactively if you do not define a value on the
command line. When a value is not specified, the contents of the specified
memory locations are displayed in hexadecimal and decimal. You can change
the existing value by entering any legal expression followed by a carriage
return. The next memory location and its contents are then displayed. The
return key entered without a value will cause the command to terminate.
The Memory Assign command does not recognize variable typing. It is
intended to be used as an assembly-level memory setting routine. For example,
assume that the variable count is a long integer. If you want to set the value of
count equal to 5, the command
Memory Assign Long count=5
