Command: Copy longs from one region to another in main memory.

((PUB ┆ PRI))
  LONGMOVE (DestAddress, SrcAddress, Count )

• DestAddress is an expression specifying the main memory location to copy the first long of source to.
• SrcAddress is an expression specifying the main memory location of the first long of source to copy.
• Count is an expression indicating the number of longs of the source to copy to the destination.

Explanation

LONGMOVE is one of three commands (BYTEMOVE, WORDMOVE, and LONGMOVE) used to copy blocks of main memory from one area to another. LONGMOVE copies Count longs of main memory starting from SrcAddress to main memory starting at DestAddress.

Using LONGMOVE

LONGMOVE is a great way to copy large blocks of long-sized memory. For example:

VAR
  long Buff1[100]
  long Buff2[100]

PUB Main
  longmove(@Buff2, @Buff1, 100)   'Copy Buff1 to Buff2

The first line of the Main method, above, copies the entire 100-long (400-byte) Buff1 array to the Buff2 array. LONGMOVE is faster at this task than a dedicated REPEAT loop is.
