1.2 BHT-BASIC
1.2.1 Features
BHT-BASIC is designed as an optimal programming language in making application programs
for the bar code handy terminal BHT, and to enable efficient program development, with the
following features:
Syntax Similar to Microsoft™ BASIC

BHT-BASIC uses the BASIC language which is the most widely used one among the
high-level languages. The syntax of BHT-BASIC is as close as possible to that used in
Microsoft BASIC(MS-BASIC).

No Line Numbers Required
BHT-BASIC requires no line number notation. You can write a branch statement with a label
instead of a line number so that it is possible to use cut and paste functions with an editor in
developing source programs, thus facilitating the use of program modules for development of
other programs.

Advantages of the Dedicated Compiler
The dedicated compiler outputs debugging information including cross reference lists of
variables and labels, enabling the efficient debugging in program development.
The Compiler assigns variables to fixed addresses so that it is not necessary for the
Interpreter to allocate or release memories when executing user programs, making the
execution time shorter.

Program Compression by the Dedicated Compiler
The Compiler compresses a source program into the intermediate language to produce an
object program (a user program).
(When a compiled user program is downloaded to the BHT, the BHT packs a pair of ASCII
bytes into a single byte by converting each byte into a 4-bit hexadecimal number for more
efficient use of the memory area in the BHT.)
