Alan,
It doesn't work, neither (####.#), "#####.#" and a lot of other
combinations that I already tried.
I was able to get the other commands syntax even the non "standard
basic" ones even with several parameters, but this one is very resilient
to all my efforts after diving in old Basic, Fortran, Algol, etc.
manuals but never found a STYLE statement. I always get ILLEGAL
STYLE error and no other cues.
Thank you anyway, I appreciate all efforts.

Subject: [time-nuts] OT Systron-Donner Basic
This is clearly OT, but maybe somebody in this list can give me some help.
Recently I bought an old GPIB controller, a Systron-Donner Busser II
model 3522. As my daughter said it looks like technology coming from
"Lost", but I want it to learn how to do some basic control of my GPIB
instruments before immersing in a more logical solution using a NI card
and a PC.
For starting, I made simple programs to record OCXO's drift and aging
against my Rb and for studying the charge and discharge of batteries.
This device is a small 6802 based computer that runs a Basic dialect
(Systron-Donner Basic v 2.a) and while the unit came without any
documentation I was able to reverse engineer its command set and other
information.
There is only a command that resist all my efforts so far, the command
STYLE that seems to be a kind of format facility for the PRINT command.
Anybody was exposed in the past to this technology or remember anything
about a Basic command named STYLE?
I can´t find the right syntax for this command.
Thanks in advance.
Ignacio, EB4APL
