You can also use symbols to represent data and data addresses in
message commands.
A symbol can consist of numeric digits, alphabetic characters, and the
underscore (_). The scanner does not allow any other special characters.
Important: The first character in a symbol must be a letter (A - Z).
The scanner recognizes both upper-case and lower-case letters in a
symbol as different characters
For example, ASYMBOL and Asymbol are two different symbols.
A symbol can be any length, but it must be unique in its first
eight characters
For example, the scanner can distinguish SYMBOL_A and
SYMBOL_B in a message procedure, but NEW_SYMBOL_A and
NEW_SYMBOL_B are not.
Important: The scanner does not flag indistinguishable symbols as
programming errors. It treats similar symbols as equivalents.
