How do I past code from a text file into a program?

The Purge with character limits

  • Just because the PC-DMIS code looks like plain text, when copied from a program and pasted into a text file, doesn't mean that it is. There is far more going on in the background that you can't see.

    Long story short, it is not possible to copy and paste sections of code from word/notepad/whatever into PC-DMIS.

    The simplest way to see this is to start typing on a new line in PC-DMIS. What happens? It starts to auto-grab code for you, but only in discrete bits. As you type "MOVE" for instance, if you wanted a move/ point, you can't type any farther. You have to tab. Why? Because it's not just a line of text.
