Table 1-2. Types of string constants (Continued)

Constant Definition Example

H2 and H6	H2 and H6 constants generate	BLOCK	CONSTANT = H2’373737’;
	H2000 BCD and H6000 BCD	BLOCK	CONSTANT = H6’373737’;
	codes, respectively. Use of H2 and
	H6 is identical to use of E and A	Repeat count examples:
	prefixes described in the previous
		T1: TABLE CONSTANT = (3)’*’;
	sections of this table.
	Since H2000 and H6000 BCD are	is equivalent to:
		T1: TABLE CONSTANT = (‘###’);
	defined as 6-bit codes, no
	specification greater than X’3F’	T1: TABLE CONSTANT=(3)O’27’;
	generates a legal character. If
	anything from X’40’ to X’FF’ is	T2: TABLE CONSTANT=(4)X’C1’;
	coded, an error message appears
	and the bad character is replaced
	with a blank.
	String constants may be replaced
	by an optional repeat count. A
	repeat count must be enclosed in
	parentheses and must be in the
	range of 1 to 255.
