ZBasic System Library 192 ZX Microcontroller Family PersistentPeek Type Function returning Byte Invocation PersistentPeek(address) Parameter Method Type Description address ByVal int16 The persistent memory address from which to read. Discussion This function will return the content of the specified persistent memory address. The address of any persistent variable can also be obtained using the DataAddress property. For persistent variables, the DataAddress property is of type UnsignedInteger. Example Dim pi as PersistentInteger Dim b as Byte b = PersistentPeek(1000) b = PersistentPeek(pi.DataAddress + 1) The second use of PersistentPeek() demonstrates how you can use the DataAddress property to read a byte value from any part of a persistent variable of any type. Compatibility BasicX does not support the use of the DataAddress property for persistent items. The BasicX system has only 512 bytes of persistent memory. This implementation has 1024 bytes of persistent memory of which the first 32 are reserved for system use. See Also PersistentPoke
