• Abbreviate command and parameter keywords to the first three letters or use the full
keyword, for example, POSITION or POS, OUTPUT or OUT. The only exceptions are
FOR, which the system interprets as the parameter FORMAT instead of FORM and
FON, which the system interprets as parameter FONTINDEX instead of FONTS.
Therefore, make sure to use the abbreviation FOR to represent FORMAT only and FON
to represent FONTINDEX only, or avoid the abbreviation entirely to prevent errors.
• Use a semicolon (;) to indicate the end of an element of data for the system. It must be
at the end of every XDL command.
• Enter command parameters such as FONT, FORM, and GRAPHIC in their singular
form as shown, or with an optional plural ”s,” such as FONTS, FORMS, and GRAPH-
ICS.
• Enter the END; command to signal the end of a JSL. You may then enter another JSL
into the system if you wish. Use two END; commands to signal the end of all JSLs to be
processed:
• Use all UPPERCASE letters in XDL. Comments, however, need not be in uppercase.
Example:
LINE VFU=VFU1, DATA=(1,10),
OVERPRINT=(PRINT,DISP);
XDL commands are only accepted in the first 72 characters of each row/line. You may use
the LCDS configuration tool (see the Administrator’s Guide) to use lower case (”CaseMode”
Parameter) or more than 72 characters (”LineMode” Parameter).
This LINE command example contains three left-part command parameters, VFU, DATA,
and OVERPRINT, a right-part reference to an identifier, VFU1, and parameter options
(1,10) and (PRINT,DISP).
Right-part constants
Constants within the right part of a parameter may be either value or string constants. The
syntax of these constants is defined below.
