■ Conventions: Fonts and symbols
The following table explains the text formatting conventions used in this manual:
Text formatting |
Convention |
---|---|
Bold |
Bold characters indicate text in a window, other than the window title. Such text includes menus, menu options, buttons, radio box options, or explanatory labels. For example:
|
Italic |
Italic characters indicate a placeholder for some actual text to be provided by the user or system. For example:
Italic characters are also used for emphasis. For example:
|

|
The following table explains the symbols used in this manual:
Symbol |
Convention |
---|---|
| |
In syntax explanations, a vertical bar separates multiple items, and has the meaning of OR. For example: A|B|C means A, or B, or C. |
{ } |
In syntax explanations, curly brackets indicate that only one of the enclosed items is to be selected. For example: {A|B|C} means only one of A, or B, or C. |
[ ] |
In syntax explanations, square brackets indicate that the enclosed item or items are optional. For example: [A] means that you can specify A or nothing. [B|C] means that you can specify B, or C, or nothing. |
... |
In coding, an ellipsis (...) indicates that one or more lines of coding have been omitted. In syntax explanations, an ellipsis indicates that the immediately preceding item can be repeated as many times as necessary. For example: A, B, B, ... means that, after you specify A, B, you can specify B as many times as necessary. |
x |
Multiplication sign |
/ |
Division sign |
|
The calculation result is rounded up to the next whole number. Example: The result of |
(tilde) |
The item shown before this symbol must be specified in accordance with the conventions shown for angle brackets, double parentheses, and double angle brackets (below). |
< > (angle brackets) |
Indicates the characters and lexical elements that can be specified.
|
(( )) (double parentheses) |
Indicates the range of specifiable values. |
<< >> (double angle brackets) |
Indicates the default assumed by the system when a value is unspecified. Example: If you do not specify days-to-keep-form ~<numeric> ((0 to 365)) <<365>>, 365 is assumed as the number of days to keep the form. |
MAX |
Choose the largest of the calculation results. Example: The result of MAX (3 x 6, 4 + 7) is 18. |
■ Conventions: Version numbers
The version numbers of Hitachi program products are usually written as two sets of two digits each, separated by a hyphen. For example:
-
Version 1.00 (or 1.0) is written as 01-00.
-
Version 2.05 is written as 02-05.
-
Version 2.50 (or 2.5) is written as 02-50.
-
Version 12.25 is written as 12-25.
The version number might be shown on the spine of a manual as Ver. 2.00, but the same version number would be written in the program as 02-00.
■ JP1 program reorganization in version 8
