LINPUT Statement The LINPUT statement is automatically translated as indicated below: The LINPUT statement may not take a prompt in BASIC/V. When the statement executes, the cursor does not move and the default prompt "?" does not print. This allows you to use a PRINT statement ending in a semicolon or comma, followed by an LINPUT statement to achieve the effect of a prompt. In HP Business BASIC/XL, the LINPUT statement can include an optional prompt. If you do not include a prompt, the cursor moves to the beginning of the next line and the default prompt "?" prints. The migration aid inserts null prompts into LINPUT statements so they act the same in HP Business BASIC/XL as they did in BASIC/V.
