HP 48G - RCLF and STOF

[Liam Hays]

To quote the 48G AUR entry for RCLF:

"Recall flags command: Returns a list containing two 64-bit binary integers representing the states of the 64 system and user flags, respectively."

The first binary integer in the returned list is the system flags, where each bit represents one flag (and the lowest flag is in the rightmost bit). For example, the user flag value you got, #E0h, is #11100000b. This means that user flags 6, 7, and 8 are all set, while all other user flags are clear.

MNH Wrote:I had no idea that the list returned by invoking the RCLF command also represents display values.

It does because system flags -45 through -48 determine how many digits of precision are displayed, while system flags -49 and -50 determine what display mode to use: FIX, SCI, ENG, or ALL. This transparency is part of why the HP 48 is so cool.

MNH Wrote:To my surprise, the second program displayed the output in 2 FIX. I executed the programs in order.

I agree that what you're describing doesn't make sense. Can you post your source code?
