October 1, 1979 FORMATTING NOTATION
4.2 NOTATION FOR FORMATTING CODE SPECIFICATIONS _______________________________________________
Only some of the formatting codes take effect online, but all
are effective when FULLPRINT is issued, even when routed to the
terminal (2741 option).
The edit and alter codes are shown in upper case for clarity,
all literal codes and parameters may be specified in upper but _____________________________________________________________
and/or lower case _________________.
The following conventions are followed for <data> fields:
n numeric parameter (arbitrary number of
digits)
x indexed parameter - used as an index into
a table
[;<parm>...] an optional parameter which may be
repeated as many times as desired
(including the indicated delimiter). For
example, given the specification: "THE
INVITEES ARE <guest>[AND <guest>...],"
the user could specify "THE INVITEES ARE
PAUL" or "THE INVITEES ARE JOHN AND
GEORGE AND PAUL" or "THE INVITEES ARE
PAUL AND JOHN AND GEORGE AND RINGO," etc.
Each format code description includes examples in which the
literal code is usually shown underlined, and a fully formatted
version or an explanation follows right beneath it. For
example,
!+settab1=15;2=25+ __________________
"+" is the delimiter, "settab" is the code, and "1=15;2=25"
is the data
