May be used only when typing a procedure. This is used to define pseudonyms for existing pseudoverbs. It may also be used to add new pseudoverbs - which have been created by AIPS programmers and added by them to AIPS - to your symbol table without doing a RESTORE 0. NOTE that this only works if you know the correct pseudoverb numbers to match those defined for the system. These may be read using EXPLAIN (or HELP) POPSDAT . Grammar: PSEUDOVRB name1 = v1 , name2 = v2 , ... where the namei are the names of the new pseudoverbs and the vi are the pseudoverb numbers or the name of another pseudoerb to be assigned to them. The = sign and value are required. All pseudoverbs are global and are executed as they are encoiuntered by the compiler (rather than after the whole line is compiled). Example: PSEUDOVRB FLOAT = 101, CHARACTR = STRING create new pseudoverbs FLOAT and CHARACTR which are pseudonyms for SCALAR and STRING. ----------------------------------------------------------------
