Setting "CLOCK" in BwG

[+OLD CS1]

I just replaced my BwG's battery tonight. Using the sample program provided in the BwG manual, I am receiving an I/O error of 34 which is out-of-space on a print.

 

10 OPEN#1:"CLOCK"

20 A$="3" !THURSDAY

30 B$="06/14/18" !TODAY

40 C$="20:52:00" !NOW

50 PRINT#1:A$,B$,C$

60 CLOSE#1

 

WTFO? I wanna say I have successfully set the clock before, but I really cannot be certain, now since the battery has been dead for so long.

Try this program - just edit line 200 by removing CALL CLEAR and RUN DSKA.CLOCKMENU.

There is a program << HERE >> that works with the CorComp card written by the late Great Gazoo, he said it works with the BWG too. It's an assembly language program converted to FR99 & FG99 format by Matt. Give it a try!

Thank you, good sir! ACTUALLY, with that program I was able to determine the exact problem and correctly set the time using this style, instead:

 

OPEN#1:"CLOCK"

PRINT#1:"3,06/14/18,23:46:30"

CLOSE#1

 

The result:

 

 

So the program would become, with the commas as part of the string sent to the device:

 

10 OPEN#1:"CLOCK"

20 A$="3" !THURSDAY

30 B$="06/14/18" !TODAY

40 C$="20:52:00" !NOW

50 PRINT#1:A$;",";B$;",";C$

60 CLOSE#1

Correction - replace RUN DSKA,CLKMENU with END

Now I just need to hack the ROM to produce English day abbreviations. Since I cannot have 80 tracks I can at least have those.
