Control Character Representation
The syntax of UCS commands includes some non-printing control characters (character codes
000 to 031
10
, 000 to 1F
16
) plus the space character. These non-printing characters and the
space character are represented in this manual in various ways as shown in Table P-2 . In many
text editors, you can generate a control character by holding down the CTRL key and pressing
the appropriate printing key. For example, you can generate a record separator (30
10
, 1E
16
) by
holding down the CTRL key and pressing the up caret (^) key (SHIFT-6). This key sequence is
represented as CTRL/^ and shown in this document as the symbol:
» . Other text editors let you
enter control characters by pressing the ALT key, then entering the three-digit decimal value.
Or, you can write a custom application, which inserts control characters as required, to
generate download files.
Command Format
The command strings shown in this manual are color coded to more clearly separate the
parameters of the command. Some fields can be left empty when not required, although most
must be space- or zero-filled to size. The parameters in each command string are explained
below it, color coded to match their position in the command.
Example:
L04B00
» VFN » NVE » VEL » VBPN » VT »
