PDL principles and procedures END; END; • Multiple part options: Use parentheses to enclose multiple parts of a parameter option. Example: CRITERIA CONSTANT=(0,120,EQ,T1); • Order of right part components: If you want to specify more than one component of a parameter right part, enter the components in the order they are shown in the command description and separated by commas. Example: The MESSAGE OTEXT parameter has two alternative options, one of which has four components enclosed in parentheses. (The square brackets indicate that a component is optional. The braces indicate that the command contains alternative options, only one of which may be used. Alternatives are separated by the "|" separator character.) OTEXT={(sc [,{passnum|END}][,WAIT])|NONE} • Placeholders: To specify a particular component but not the optional components preceding it, do not enter more than one comma as a "place holders" for the component you do not specify. The component must be optional as indicated by square brackets in the syntax definition for the parameter. When the comma preceding the optional component appears inside the square brackets, then it is provided only if the component is provided. Example: If you want to specify an operator message (OTEXT) and the WAIT parameter, but wish to use the default value for passnum, enter: OTEXT=('load blue paper', WAIT); The passnum component is not supplied in the example, and its default value is used instead. • Singular or plural: You may use either the singular or plural form of the FONT, FORM, and GRAPHIC parameters. (The S in FONTS, FORMS, and GRAPHICS is optional.) • Separation of parameters: Use commas and blanks to separate parameters within a command. Example: BANNER TEST=C1, HCOUNT=1, TCOUNT=2; Using LCDS Print Description Language 1-13
