Format of tables

GDDM V3R2 Base Application Programming Reference
SC33-0868-02



Where applicable, the Set and Push And Set forms of an order are included in the same table to reduce duplication. Only the hexadecimal order-code values are different for the two forms. The contents of the remaining fields are the same for the Set and Push And Set forms.

Some orders are available as "order", or "order at current position"; only some of the following fields apply to "order at current position" and the table is annotated accordingly.

Where the Content of a field is given as "LEN", it means that the order length is variable. Variable length orders occur when they include fields that contain coordinate and coordinate-related data. The length of such fields is indicated by a "*" in the Field length column. Variable length orders can also occur where a variable number of data items follows.

When the content of a field can take the form of various bit patterns with different meanings, they are represented in the form:
B'xxxxxxxx'
where

.
Bit setting is not relevant.
1
Bit is set (1).
0
Bit is reset (0).
x
Bit may be set to either value.

In general, "Reserved" bit positions should be reset (0).
