KEYW

Syntax

KEYW (keyword$)

Location

Fn

This is a function which can be used to find whether or not a given keyword is linked into the interpreter. If the keyword is known to the interpreter, KEYW returns 0, otherwise -7.

Example

The following function returns 1 on Gold Cards and 0 on other systems (or some early Gold Cards if they do not support the SLUG command). It will unfortunately always return 1 under SMS which has the SLUG command built-in.

100 DEFine FuNction Gold_Card
110   RETurn NOT KEYW("FLP_DENSITY") + KEYW("SLUG")
120 END DEFine Gold_Card

A better way would be to use the MACHINE function.

NOTE

This will always access Job 0, therefore it cannot tell you whether or not a keyword is linked into a MultiBASIC interpreter or a multiple SBASIC interpreter.

ELIS, DEFINED and KEY_ADD are similar. Compare LOOKUP%.
