...
Bcr_1:
Data$ = GET_READER_DATA$(1)
RETURN
GET_READER_DATA$
Purpose To get data that is read from a specified reader port.
Syntax A$ = GET_READER_DATA$(N%)
Remarks "A$" is a string variable to be assigned to the result.
"N%" is an integer variable, indicating t the reader port.

Usually, ON READER GOSUB... is used to trap the event when the data is
transmitted to the mobile computer through the reader port, and then
GET_READER_DATA$ is used in a subroutine to get the reader data.
Example
ENABLE READER(1)
ON READER(1) GOSUB Bcr_1
...
Bcr_1:
Data$ = GET_READER_DATA$(1)
RETURN
