Working With Projects 4.7.9 Variable format: TXT The variables are texts which have been stored in the terminal under different message text numbers. These texts are referred to as index texts. When declaring your variables, specify the number of the first text for [min] and the number of the last of these texts for [max]. There are to be as many placeholders as the longest texts has places (otherwise this text will be cut off). The variable word contains the number of the text to be displayed. 4.7.10 Variable format: IL This variable represents a signed 32 bit number. The number of place holders is to be between 2 and 11. The system will automatically read to subsequent variable words.
4.7.11 Variable format: ASC The placeholders are filled with ASCII characters, starting with the low byte of the specified address. The character set (IBM or CPM) specified in System Settings will be used. If the placeholders are assigned to the second (graphical) character set, the symbols defined in that set will be displayed. Only displayable characters are allowed (20h and up). ASCII variables are always display variables which can be programmed only once per message. The number of placeholders is limited to the length of one line. You are not allowed to display and print ASCII variables at the same time.
ASCII character output is limited by either the size of the display window or by the value 00h appearing in the character string. 54
