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

 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.

/HEXADECIMAL
