a simple question about tang,,1

[sicheng6699]

Dear all,

in the user manual it is mentioned
TANG,,1
is equal to
TANGent
FORM
SOLVe

My question is, what happens if the order is not correct
FORM
TANGent
SOLVe
Is there something that have to be done in TANG command first? Sorry if the question has been asked already.

Thank you!

Both orders should give the same result.

Note that TANG,,1 will in general be more efficient.  So you should use that format, unless you have a special reason to not do so.
