Conventions for Syntax Diagrams
AS; shadow report
Conventions for Syntax Diagrams
The selection of a Shadow Report, identified by the one-character Shadow Report
designator (A to Z).
component
The name of a Component.
constant
A numeric constant. A sign and decimal point may be included inside the parentheses.
data item
A data item (Data item, Ordinate, Setup Data item, or Global Setup Data item). When
indicated by the syntax diagram, literals or System Data items may be used instead. In
some instances GLB.ZEROS, GLB.SPACES, GLB.LOW, and GLB.HIGH are treated as
special cases.
Each Frame of a Report is logically distinct. If the same name is used for data items in
several Frames, use the OF; data item qualification to specify which Frame applies for the
particular item. The OF; is not required within Frame logic if you are referring to the data
item in that Frame and it has already been painted. Otherwise, it refers to the first
occurrence of this Frame item in the Report (and continues to do so after an item of the
same name is painted in the same Frame, unless you re-edit your logic). For further
information, see your LINC Generate Operations Guide.
