HELP DEPOSIT — MicroVMS 4.6
Replaces the contents of the specified location(s) in virtual memory and displays the new contents. If the specified address can be read but not written by the current access mode, the original contents are displayed; if the specified address can be neither read nor written, asterisks are displayed in the data field. The DEPOSIT command maintains a pointer at that location (at the byte following the last byte modified). Format DEPOSIT location=data,... Requires user mode read and write access to the virtual memory location.

Parameters
location A virtual address or a range of virtual addresses (where the second address is larger than the first). A location can be any valid integer expression containing an integer value, a symbol name, a lexical function, or a combination of these entities. Radix qualifiers determine the radix in which the address is interpreted; hexadecimal is the initial default radix. Symbol names are always interpreted in the radix in which they were defined. The radix operators %X, %D, or %O can precede the location. A hexadecimal value must begin with a number (or be preceded by %X). data The data to be deposited into the specified location(s); the data is initially interpreted as hexadecimal and deposited in longwords by default.

/ASCII/BYTE/DECIMAL/HEXADECIMAL/LONGWORD
/OCTAL/WORD
/ASCII
Specifies that the data is ASCII. Only one data item is allowed; all characters to the right of the equal sign are considered to be part of a single string. Unless they are enclosed within quotation marks, characters are converted to uppercase; and all blanks are compressed into one blank.
/BYTE
/LONGWORD /WORD Deposits the data in bytes, longwords, or words. The initial default is longwords.
/DECIMAL
/HEXADECIMAL /OCTAL Interprets the data as decimal, hexadecimal, or octal. The initial default is hexadecimal.
