Equation 7.2
Table 7.3 Decode Element Definitions
Element Definition
r Repeat Count . Optional number of times to repeat the data type in the
expanded Decode Equation. Range is 1–2048. Repeat count data items
are stored as an array.
Type Data Type . The parser ignores all leading white space (space or tab char-
acters) for all data types except C. See Table 7.4 for specific data types
and definitions.
Reset Values If parsing fails, the SEL-2032 stores the data type reset value into the
database. See
Table 7.4 for data type reset values. Also see User-Defined
Reset Values.
n Length . Optional maximum expected size of the ASCII string for the
data type. Range is 1–32767. If n is not specified, the value of n is based
on the data type specified. See Table 7.4 for the default length of n .
Once a valid character is found, all valid characters are read and stored
until the specified length of characters is read or an invalid character is
found.
@ Non-Storage Element . The @ sign causes the data item to be parsed
according to the data type, but not stored in the database. In the example,
I, F@, the @ sign reserves space for an integer, but not for the floating-
point. The @ sign cannot be specified with the label option.
label Optional Label . This optional label is applied to the data type. Only one
label is allowed per data type. Data elements with a repeat count share the
same label. Labels are limited to 10 characters, and characters must be
(a–z, A–Z, 0–9 or the underscore character). A label cannot be specified
with the @ sign option. The labels MONTH, DAY, YEAR, HOUR, MIN,
SECONDS, SEC, and MSEC are reserved by the SEL-2032. You may,
however, use these labels if they are not in uppercase. For example, Min
is an acceptable label.

Data
Types
Definitions Reset Values
Default Length
(if n not specified)
I Integer (0–9 and l or –) 8000h 5 valid
characters plus sign
F Floating Point (0–9, + or –, and
scientific notation) 7F800000h 10 valid characters
C ASCII String (all ASCII characters
including leading white space) ‘’ (empty string) 1 character
S ASCII String (all ASCII characters
excluding leading white space) ‘’ (empty string) 1 character
H ASCII Hexadecimal Number (0–9,
A–F, a–f) 8000h 4 valid characters
RI v User-defined reset value for I Data
Type, where
v is the reset value.
Format the same as I Data Type.
