Effect
You can output certain characters as symbols using the
addition … AS SYMBOL . You should only address these characters with their
system-defined names. The include (or the more comprehensive include
) contains the relevant identifiers as constants, e.g. SYM_PHONE ,
SYM_CIRCLE .
Example
INCLUDE .
WRITE: / SYM_RIGHT_HAND AS SYMBOL, ” output as symbol
‘Tip, Note’,
SYM_LEFT_HAND AS SYMBOL. ” output as symbol
Note
An output length of one character is enough for most
symbols, but some (e.g. SYM_FAX ) are twice as long.
You can determine the length of a symbol with DESCRIBE
FIELD SYM_… OUTPUT-LENGTH …
