Create a Syntax Token for Western European Languages

Edit online

About this task

The Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor uses the ANSI character set when determining the start and end range for a syntax token.

To create a syntax token:

Procedure

  1. From the Edit menu, select Syntax Tokens. The Syntax Tokens dialog box opens.
  2. Click New.
  3. In the Edit Syntax Token dialog box, in the Token field, type the unique one-character alphanumeric value that the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor recognizes as containing the permitted range of characters you designate.

    The token can be only one unique character, uppercase or lowercase, alphabetical or numeric, 1 – 9.

  4. To specify the character range, click New.

    The Character Ranges list contains the character range or ranges that you define for this token. You can define more than one character range for each token. For example, you can define the token A as permitting the character ranges A – Z and a – z. This definition indicates that token A permits only uppercase and lowercase alphabetical characters.

  5. In the Edit Character Range dialog box, in the Start character box, type the character that begins the permitted character range.

    For example, if the character range you want to define is B – D, type B in the Start character box.

    If you type a character, such as é, that is not accepted, you must type it in hexadecimal code. To type hexadecimal characters, type 0(zero)x (that is, 0X), followed by the hexadecimal code. For example, the hexadecimal equivalent of é is 0xE9.

    Note: You can now use the null character (hexadecimal 0x00) in your maps.

    The Start character and End character can each be only one character, uppercase or lowercase, alphabetical or numeric, 1 – 9.

    For more information about possible character ranges, see Character Ranges for Western European Languages.

  6. In the End character box, type the character that terminates the permitted token range. Use the guidelines from step 5.
  7. Click OK to return to the Edit Syntax Token dialog box.
  8. Add additional character ranges as necessary.
  9. Click OK to save the syntax token.
