S Code - Substitution

The S (Substitution) code specifies two elements to be used for substitution.

• If the input to this code is not zero, the processor substitutes the first element for the value.
• If the input to this code is zero, the processor substitutes the second element for the value.

Each of these substitution elements can be the value of a specified attribute, a literal or the input to this code.

Input Conversion

Input conversion does not invert. It simply processes the input data.

Syntax

S;value-substitute;zero-substitute
