HP 50g: PUT Bug?

[Alvaro]

the following code is not changing the contect of a Variable as espected.

How to:
in ALG mode:

[0,0]STO XX

PUT(XX,1,5)

RCL XX shows still [0 0].

Is that a Bug ?
Can somenone reproduce it?

I'm afraid nobody here, unless they switch their machines to ALG mode. I wouldn't do it.

Here is a hint for you - turn your HP50 into RPN mode like everyone else around here, than you will speak the same language.

Hi,
It is not a bug.
After you do the PUT command the stack will show [5 0].
You have to store this new vector into the old one with STO XX.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Jim,

It was very important for me your advise. I already had stopped all programing tries because of that PUT.
Yes, the STO command must be issued too. There is the Algebraic Mode but it is still a "Stack" oriented Calc.

I had tried that STO too, I still had it stored as a Program for the testing. I can not believe that I did not see it.
Maybe I had switched to the stack mode before I used the program.
Thanks again.
