Press
label to execute the program labeled with that letter. If there is

(run/stop). The PRGM annunciator blinks on and off while the
program is running.
If necessary, enter the data before executing the program.
Example:
Run the programs labeled A and E to find the areas of three different circles
with radii of 5, 2.5, and 2 π . Remember to enter the radius before
executing .A or E.

Testing a Program

If you know there is an error in a program, but are not sure where the error is,
then a good way to test the program is by stepwise execution. It is also a
good idea to test a long or complicated program before relying on it. By
stepping through its execution, one line at a time, you can see the result after
each program line is executed, so you can verify the progress of known data
whose correct results are also known.
