Description:
DATA stores numeric and string literals so that READ statements can assign them to
variables.
• A DATA statement can appear anywhere in a source program.
• A string data should be enclosed with a pair of double quotation marks (").
• You may have any number of DATA statements in a program. The READ statement
assigns data stored by DATA statements in the exact same order that those DATA
statements appear in a source program.
• Using the RESTORE statement can read a same DATA statement more than once since
the RESTORE can change a location where the READ statement should start reading
data.
• You can specify more than one literal in a program line (within 512 characters) by
separating them with commas (,).
• You can describe DATA statements also in included files.
