12C Platinum and Store Registers - Gamo - 12-15-2018 01:12 PM
Recently I wrote a program on 12C Platinum that
used 260 steps and 16 store registers.
With this many steps and use a lot of store memory this12C Platinum still be able to run this program no problem at all.
This make the user not to worry about program capacity at all when writing very long program.
No need to adjust Memory Reallocation like the 15C

I don't know if HP fixed it, but there was a bug in some of the early 12-cp's (Platinum) regarding the GOTO command. If the line number of the GOTO destination was greater than some number (which I can't remember), the GOTO would generate an error. I discovered this when I tried to load up all those 400 steps and store several programs at once. I wrote HP about this and they agreed it was a bug. Maybe they fixed it, but maybe not.

Think they did fix it.
I Think it was GTO 254 or higher? Maybe 255.

Don Shepherd Thanks to mention about GOTO bug.
Luckily my program didn't use any GOTO in this program but good to
know that there is a GOTO bug if I use this in future this will keep me notice.
Side Note on personal experience:
I own
12C (Made in China) serial number CNAxxxxRF9
12C (Made in Philippines) serial number PHAxxxxxxV
The 12C keys respond is not good compare to 12C Platinum.
The 12C the #4 keys always have problem either once press it miss or double entry.
So far no problem at all on the Made in Philippines version.
