214 END Purpose This informs the computer that it has reached the end of the program. END is optional but may be used as many times as required in a program. Example 9000 END Description Optional end of program which may occur anywhere and as often as is required. The command END has a special use in that it causes BASIC to search the program in memory for a valid end program marker. BASIC then updates its internal pointers. This may be useful after unusual loading procedures. If the user changes the value of PAGE then internal pointers such as TOP will not be reset until an END statement or command is met.
