Identifier
String constants may be used to specify names of forms, files, fonts, departments, and so
on. In creating your JSLs, you assign names to the forms and files you want to specify. Each
name you assign identifies the unique object you wish the system to act upon for your ap-
plications. For example:
Identifier are limited to a length of 6 characters.
Hexadecimal
Normally used as string constants, each pair of hexadecimal characters results in one byte.
A hexadecimal constant must immediately be preceded by the characters X apostrophe (X')
to indicate to the XDL compiler that the following expression is in hexadecimal. For exam-
ple:
I
Character
Normally used as string constants, but they may also be numeric value constants, each
character, including embedded blanks, results in one byte. A character constant must im-
mediately be preceded and immediately followed by the apostrophe (') character. For ex-
ample:
If the apostrophe character (') is required in a character constant, it must be defined in some
other way, such as consecutive or double apostrophes ("), or the hexadecimal constant
X’7D’. Character constants may be defined as EBCDIC and take their actual values from
the standard EBCDIC table definition.
ASCII
Used as string constants, each character results in one byte. The constants must be pre-
ceded by the characters A apostrophe (A') and followed by an apostrophe (') character. For
example:
OUTPUT
FORM=SMPLE,
BFORM=SMPBK,
MODIFY=CME12;
IDEN PREFIX=X'C1C2C3C4';
IDEN PREFIX='THIS IS A CHARACTER CONSTANT';
CONSTANT='ABCDE';
IDEN PREFIX=A'ABC';
