Why are data statements read faster when a period
is used instead of a zero. That is:
Data 23,.,.,1,45,.,6,7 is read faster than
Data 23,0,0,1,45,0,6,7
I've read this several times, but with no explanation
of why.

I bet a statement like the following will run even faster. 10 DATA 23,,,1,45,,6,7 Jeff Porter AT&T Consumer Products Indianapolis
