PDL principles and procedures • EBCDIC • Octal • Kanji - Using the # character (case toggle) Within a text string, the # character may be used as a case toggle. In other words, when a text string is encountered, it is assumed that characters are inserted into the print line as they appear in the text string (usually in uppercase). If the system encounters a #, it interprets the characters as lowercase mode. All letters after the # are considered lowercase until another # is encountered, which toggles back to uppercase. The sequence ## indicates that the actual # character should be inserted and should not be treated as a toggle for lowercase mode. - Using a repeat count String constants may be preceded by an optional repeat count. A repeat count is enclosed in parentheses and must be in the range of 1 to 255. For example: T1: TABLE CONSTANT=(3)'*'; is equivalent to: T1: TABLE CONSTANT=('***'); Following are additional examples of the use of a repeat count: T1: TABLE CONSTANT=(3)O'27'; T2: TABLE CONSTANT=(4)X'C1'; - Types of string constants: The following table gives explanations and examples of the different types of string constants. 1-8 Using LCDS Print Description Language
