This is Basic on MultiValue systems

by Malcolm Bull


This is Basic on MultiValue systems looks at the Basic programming language which is implemented on the various MultiValue systems. The book is aimed at all levels of expertise and is designed to serve as:

  • An introduction to the nature and form of Basic
  • A reference for both new and experienced users
  • A source of tips and techniques for those wishing to exploit the language

The book is an updated version of Basic: the Pick programming language, and is published by Malcolm Bull Training & Consultancy Services in a form which allows us to keep the material up-to-date as the systems grow and extend the facilities of the Basic language

The Chapter headings include:

  • Introducing Basic
  • Data types & data structures
  • Manipulating the data
  • Input statements
  • CRT, PRINT and printing
  • Controlling the processing
  • Subroutines
  • Using other facilities
  • Passing control between processes
  • System facilities
  • File handling
  • Handling backing storage
  • Basic program development
  • The Basic debugger
  • Practical programming
  • Efficiency in practice
  • Appendix of general reference material

The book This is Basic: a quick introduction for programmers is a quick introduction to the MultiValue dialects of Basic for the experienced programmer

The presentation is based on Malcolm Bull's experience of using the language on MultiValue systems for over 20 years, and addresses all dialects of the language as it is implemented on those systems

Each element of the Basic language is introduced, described and illustrated in action, and for the experienced programmer there are discussions of the practical applications of the features of the Basic programming language

The book is designed to be used for general reading, and also as an essential element of MultiValue training courses. It is suitable for use by beginners, by experienced users, and by technical users

The book – like all the titles in our popular This is... series - is produced in a format which enables training organisations and software houses to include it as a part of their own education and training materials, and which allows us to keep the material up-to-date as the systems grow and extend the features and facilities which are available within the language.
