There may be as many S and #P in a block as desired provided that the
length of the block does not exceed the maximum block size.
Example 28.24
Sample of a DPRNT Block
DPRNT[INSTALL*TOOL*#123[53]*PRESS*CYCLE*STOP**#234[20]];
Example 28.24 would yield an output equal to the character strings with
the * symbols being converted to spaces and the parameter values for
parameters #123 and #234. The value of the parameter is output as a string
of decimal digits. A decimal point is not output if there are no decimal
digits. The most significant digit is output first.
The output may be either ASCII/ISO or EIA format as determined in AMP
by the system installer. Leading zero suppression, and/or a leading plus
sign can also be set by AMP parameters.
Example 28.25

#12=123.45678;
#4=-98.7;
#30=234.567
