RUN Command
Category
Reference/Commodore Basic V3.5

Topic
RUN [line#]

The RUN command clears all variables and starts execution of a program, normally starting at the first line. If a line number is specified, the program starts at that line. If the specified line number does not exist, an ?UNDEF'D STATEMENT ERROR occurs.

RUN can also be used within a BASIC program to restart the program (all variables will be erased)

By default, the F6 (SHIFT+F3) key issues the RUN command.

Examples
RUN Clears variables and starts program from the first line number
RUN 100 Clears variables and starts program from line 100

Machine Language
To perform the equivalent of the RUN command, use this code:
JSR $8BBE
JMP $8BDC


- To catch the RUN command in an emulator (e.g. when a program is auto-loaded from a TAP file), set a breakpoint to $8BDC.
- Difference between RUN 0 and GOTO 0 is that GOTO does not erase the variables in memory.


Abbreviation
R SHIFT+U
