DELIMIT

Function Specifies

the

delimiter used to isolate variables

within command lines.

Explicit Form

DELIMIT C

Parameters

Delimiter character. This is a single

ASCII character, and must have an
ASCII value greater than decimal

32, that is, no control characters or

spaces are allowed. You must
declare the delimiter if you use

variables. There is no default
delimiter character.

Comments

Define the delimiter character before using any
variables in a label format. The delimiter

character must precede and follow every variable

and its associated parameters.

NOTE: Choose the delimiter character carefully. Avoid
using a character that you will need for other purposes
within the label format. Especially avoid using the
percent sign (%) as a delimiter. It is used within some
system variables, making its use as a delimiter
inconvenient in many applications.
