Coding rules

These coding rules apply:

  • RMU Script statements can be placed anywhere between columns 1 and 72. Only one statement is allowed on a line. Statements are followed by respective arguments.
  • The arguments are separated by one or more spaces.
  • Lines that begin with an asterisk (*) are treated as comments.
  • Comments can be imbedded anywhere in the program.
  • Alphanumeric constant values (literal) are enclosed in quotes. For example: 'abcd'
  • A hex literal is coded by placing an X before the hex constant. For example: X'1234'
  • A hex literal must contain a combination of valid hex characters: 0–9, A–F.
  • Numeric constant values are coded as numbers with a leading plus or minus sign and, if necessary, a decimal point. Numbers without a sign are treated as positive numbers. For example, -123.55 is a negative number.
