Prior to the introduction of this feature, Model 204 numeric parameter settings are absolute values only, optionally qualified by a leading minus sign (<t>-) to indicate a negative value. For example, you might set the value of the LSTBL user table to 50,000 bytes:
UTABLE LSTBL 50000
Subsequently, you find that you need to increase the initial setting to 60,000. You can issue UTABLE LSTBL 60000
,
or as of Sirius Mods version 8.0, you can issue:
UTABLE LSTBL 10000+
The plus sign after the setting value above indicates a relative increase of 10,000. An alternative equivalent is:
UTABLE LSTBL 120%
To decrease the initial setting by 10,000, you can issue either of these relative settings:
UTABLE LSTBL 10000- UTABLE LSTBL 80%
The option to use the relative setting of the parameter may be particularly useful in a dynamic environment where the LSTBL setting may be subject to change from a variety of code sources. In this case, explicit settings risk being difficult to maintain.
