Directives for Alpha Pictures (Magic xpa 3.x)

The tables below provide a list of directives for Alpha pictures.

Alpha Positional Directives

Directive

Description

X{n}

A placeholder for any character.

U{n}

Instructs Magic xpa to convert the character to upper case.

L{n}

Instructs Magic xpa to convert the character to lower case.

#{n}

A placeholder for a digit (0-9) or any of the following symbols ( . , - + * / ).

Note that during data entry, Magic xpa verifies that the user typed a digit in the positions held by #. Any other character typed in these positions is rejected and an error message is issued.

Alpha Functional Directives

Directive

Default: No

Platform specific: This directive is not supported for mobile devices.

For variables with Alpha attributes, each X, U, L, or # directive defines the type of character. The sum of Xs, Us, Ls, and #s defines the size of the variable.

Note:
