Typing System Delimiters
You may have to type system delimiters into your items. The system delimiters you can type using the Editor are the attribute mark, the value mark, and the subvalue mark.
Attribute Marks
The attribute mark is a hexadecimal FE (X'FE'). On most terminals, this character is typed by pressing CTRL+^.
When you insert attribute marks, you are creating new attributes in the item. After executing the F command, for example, you will see each piece of text separated by an attribute mark on a new line, and will not see attribute marks. This is because each line displayed by the Editor is an attribute.
If your terminal does not generate X'FE' when you press CTRL+^, consult the appropriate terminal documentation to find out the keystrokes that do.
Value Marks
The value mark is a hexadecimal FD (X'FD'). On most terminals, this character is typed by pressing CTRL+].
If your terminal does not generate an X'FD' when you press CTRL+], consult the appropriate terminal documentation to find out the keystrokes that do.
Subvalue Marks
The subvalue mark is a hexadecimal FC (X'FC'). On most terminals, this character is typed by pressing CTRL+\.
If your terminal does not generate an X'FC' when you press CTRL+\, consult the appropriate terminal documentation to find out the keystrokes that do.
Segment Marks
Never type segment marks using the Editor. If you do, you will cause a Group Format Error.
