Can't the LOAD command be used in a basic program?

1 LOAD"ROUTINE",8,1
2 SYS 49152
RUN

Ends up in a endless loop, so I guess it doesn't do what I expect it to do...

(This may seem stupid, but it would be very handy for me when crossdeving for the DTV, as I need to load the files from 64HDD all the time, with this I could just do "run" to load the lastest routine from disk and execute)

quoting some FAQ file found on the net:

#9. To load a program from BASIC without re-run problems or tricky
variable/ongoto statements....

poke147,0
sys57812 "filename",8,1
sys62631

here's another method for data files:

following will work to read in everything except the first two bytes:

1000 SYS 57812 "NAME,S",8,0:REM SET PARAMETERS FOR LOAD
1010 POKE 193,L%:POKE 194,H%
1020 POKE 147,0:SYS 62631

L% is the low byte of the load address, and H% is the high byte, e.g.
H%= INT(address/256): L%=address-256*H%

POKEing a 0 into 147 performs a load; a 1 would perform a verify.

Why "name,s"....? What does the S do?

It loads a SEQ file instead of the default PRG.
