Move Commands
F5 | Move the cursor ahead “nn” characters from current cursor position. |
| Syntax = F5nn (nn stands for the numeric value |
| should be moved ahead.) |
F6 | Move the cursor back “nn” characters from current cursor position. |
| Syntax = F6nn (nn stands for the numeric value |
| should be moved back.) |
F7 | Move the cursor to the beginning of the data string. Syntax = F7. |
EA | Move the cursor to the end of the data string. Syntax = EA |
Search Commands
F8 Search ahead for “xx” character from current cursor position, leaving cursor pointing to “xx” char- acter. Syntax = F8xx (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page
F9 Search back for “xx” character from current cursor position, leaving cursor pointing to “xx” char- acter. Syntax = F9xx (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page
E6 Search ahead for the first non “xx” character from the current cursor position, leaving cursor pointing to non “xx” character. Syntax = E6xx (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page
E7 Search back for the first non “xx” character from the current cursor position, leaving cursor point- ing to non “xx” character. Syntax = E7xx (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page
Miscellaneous Commands
FB | Suppress all occurrences of up to 15 different characters, starting at the current cursor position, |
| as the cursor is advanced by other commands. When the FC command is encountered, the sup- |
| press function is terminated. The cursor is not moved by the FB command. Syntax = FBnnxxyy |
| . .zz where nn is a count of the number of suppressed characters in the list and xxyy .. zz is the |
| list of characters to be suppressed. (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII |
| Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page |
FC | Disables suppress filter and clear all suppressed characters. Syntax = FC. |
E4 | Replaces up to 15 characters in the data string with user specified characters. Replacement |
| continues until the E5 command is encountered. Syntax = E4nnxx1xx2yy1yy2...zz1zz2 where |
| nn is the total count of both characters to be replaced plus replacement characters; xx1 defines |
| characters to be replaced and xx2 defines replacement characters, continuing through zz1 and |
| zz2. |
E5 | Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5. |
FE | Compare character in current cursor position to the character “xx.” If characters are equal, incre- |
| ment cursor. If characters are not equal, no format match. Syntax = FExx (xx stands for the |
| hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page |
EC | Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor position. If character is not |
| numeric, format is aborted. Syntax = EC. |
ED | Check to make sure there is a |
