The intrinsic PRINT really wants a word array.

Also, your example, while fine, will not be very useful when you decide to
build an output record with an eye to formatting and such.  You may as well
get used to equivalence or remapping of byte arrays into word arrays.  When
you get to IMAGE and other files, you will need to pass word arrays that you
build from bytes.

Subject: Re: [HP3000-L] SPL Hello World! program

Thanks for the various replies.  I now have the ultimate Hello World program
with the obvious bug in the first one where I didn't have the text right!
(Using cut & paste from example code) Doh.

$CONTROL USLINIT
BEGIN
  INTRINSIC PRINT;
   BYTE ARRAY OUT(0:12);
   PRINT(OUT, -MOVE OUT:="Hello World!", 0);
END.

I don't get the warning on the PRINT now.

I don't understand why it expects a word array when the documentation -

http://docs.hp.com/en/32650-90821/ch04s177.html

says it's a "character array".  Isn't that a byte array?

Cheers

Peter
