The '''_MEMPUT''' statement writes data to a portion of a designated memory block at an OFFSET position.


{{PageSyntax}}
::: '''_MEMPUT ''memory_block'', ''memory_block.OFFSET''''' [+ ''bytes'']''', ''source_variable''''' [AS ''type'']



* ''memory block'' is a [[_MEM]] variable type name.
* ''memory block.OFFSET'' is the dot [[OFFSET]] byte zero memory position where block data begins. 
* The ''source variable'' designates the size and place it will be read from. It can be a variable, array or user defined type.
* The ''source variable'' is converted to a specific variable ''[[TYPE|type]]'' before it is copied to the ''memory block offset'' as bytes.


''Example:'' _MEMPUT can be used just like [[POKE]] without [[DEF SEG]].
