Search backward for a non-matching character

E7 Search the input message backward for the first non-“xx” character from the current cursor position, leaving the cursor pointing to the non- “xx” character. Syntax = E7xx where xx stands for the search character’s hex value for its ASCII code.

Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-4for decimal, hex and character codes.

Miscellaneous Commands

 

Suppress characters

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 suppress 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.

 

Stop suppressing characters

FC

Disables suppress filter and clear all suppressed characters. Syntax =

 

FC.

 

Replace characters

E4

Replaces up to 15 characters in the output message, without moving

 

the cursor. Replacement continues until the E5 command is

 

encountered. Syntax = E4nnxx1xx2yy1yy2...zz1zz2 where nn is the total

 

count of of the number of characters in the list (characters to be

 

replaced plus replacement characters); xx1 defines characters to be

 

replaced and xx2 defines replacement characters, continuing through

 

zz1 and zz2.

 

Stop replacing characters

E5

Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5.

 

Compare characters

FE

Compare the character in the current cursor position to the character

 

“xx.” If characters are equal, move the cursor forward one position.

 

Syntax = FExx where xx stands for the comparison character’s hex

 

value for its ASCII code.

 

Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-4for

 

decimal, hex and character codes.

 

Compare string

B2 Compare the string in the input message to the string “s.” If the strings are equal, move the cursor forward past the end of the string. Syntax

=B2nnnnS where nnnn is the string length (up to 9999), and S consists of the ASCII hex value of each character in the match string. For
