3.3.3 Variable values<br />

Specification<br />

Euro <strong>Interface</strong> <strong>EMIS</strong><br />

<strong>Interface</strong> <strong>Description</strong><br />

Values, which can be accessed in a number of ways, are assigned to the variables.(see access<br />

rights 3.4.2 / page 16).<br />

All variables are converted into character strings before transmission. If character strings contain<br />

commas, semicolons or other reserved characters, they must be enclosed within quotation marks.<br />

Otherwise the quotation marks are optional.<br />

Quotation marks are not permitted at all within values assigned to variables.<br />

The following reserved characters are defined:<br />

Character Use<br />

, Comma: separates OpCode from variable name and divides hierarchical variable<br />

names<br />

; Semicolon: separates elements in a list of identifications (only for identifications<br />

within a group)<br />

= Separates variable name from its value<br />

”” Quotation marks enclose the variable value.<br />

Optional, if no reserved characters occur within the character string.<br />

() Brackets enclose the index in field structures, i.e. if subsidiary groups are present<br />

more than once (e.g. COMP(n) ).<br />

• The index counts from 0 upwards<br />

• Stating index (0) is optional. In other words, COMP and COMP(0) have the same<br />

meaning<br />

ATTENTION<br />

None of the characters mentioned above can be used in the value being<br />

assigned to a variable unless the character string is enclosed within quotation<br />

marks ("...").<br />

Variable Formats:<br />

• The format of HWVersion and SWVersion is "xx.xx" + optionally up to 5 additional characters.<br />

• Dates are always represented in the form "dd:mm:yyyy". Shortening the year number (yy) is<br />

not permitted (to handle the millennium properly).<br />

• Times are to be displayed in the form "hh:mm[:ss]". There is no provision for a resolution finer<br />

than seconds. Display of the seconds is optional (hh:mm).<br />

• The variable LastError has the format "nnnn:Text", and has a maximum length of 50<br />

characters.<br />

• Special rules are to be observed for the transfer of QAS event lists. (see chapter 0 / page 19)<br />

• The maximum string lengths of the variable values are determined in the tables under “Length“<br />
