located in the font address (fa). The ca value must be

one of the 16 hex values specified in Table 7–2 on page

7–5.

fa

Represents the hexadecimal value for the font address

of a specified character in the Multinational character

set (page 7–11) which will replace the current contents

of ca. The fa value is the character substitution for the

cell address (ca). The value of fa may range from 20 to

FF hex.

END

Comments

You can define up to 16 character substitutions for each of the eight

user–definable character sets. It is not necessary to address all 16 spaces

available for character substitutions with a single USET command.

The character sets in the USET command are numbered 1 through 8. The

character set values in the Character Set Selection (ISET) command (page

7–10) are numbered 24 through 31 and correspond to User Sets 1 through

8. The ISET command accesses and prints that custom character set.
