Numeric variable

The numeric variable is a decimal number represented as an ASCII string. Some commands allow the string to be preceded by a plus (+) or minus (-) sign, and others allow the number to include a fractional part after a decimal point represented by the full stop (.) character. If the numeric variable is not provided, it is assumed to be zero.

Parameter character

The parameter character indicates the parameter to which the previous numeric variable applies. The parameter character is only used when several escape sequences are combined. The parameter character may be within the range of hexadecimal 60Ð7E (decimal 96Ð126), and is a lowercase version of the final parameter.

Final parameter character

The final parameter character, which also references the previous numeric variable, is used to end an escape sequence. The final parameter character is always uppercase.

Table 3-2 summarises the use of parameter and final parameter characters.
