ALPHANUM= alphabetic numbering

Up  Previous  Next

Normally XWIDE=1 limits the numerical score range to 0-9, but with ALPHANUM= this can be extended much further.

 

ALPHANUM= is followed by a string of characters that represent the cardinal numbers in order starting with 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

 

Example:        Represent the numbers 0-20 using XWIDE=1

       ALPHANUM = 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJK        ; then A=10, B=11, .., K=20

       XWIDE = 1

       CODES = 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJK

       NI = 5

       ITEM1 = 1
