You must give parameters in the format (type of units) required by each
GL/2 command. The required format is stated in the parameter table of each
command's description, and is described as follows.
Infege}-- An integer from –2, 147,483,648to +2, 147,483,647.The printer
automatically rounds fractional parameters to the nearest integer. Using a
number outside the specified range causes an error.
Clumped integer — An integer from –32,768 to +32,767. The printer
automatically rounds fractional parameters to the nearest integer. Sending a
number outside this range does not cause an error, but the number is
"clamped" to the limits of the range.
Certain commands have parameters which are restricted to a smaller range.
These ranges are listed in the parameter tables for each command. Sending
a number outside the reduced parameter range may produce unexpected
results.
Real — A number where the integer portion is from –1,073,741,824 to
+1,073,74 1,823. You are assured of at least 6 significant digits (including
integer and fractional portion). You may omit the decimal point when no
decimal fraction is specified. If you do not specify a sign, the parameter is
assumed to be positive. Using a number outside this range causes the
command to be ignored.
Clamped real — A number where the integer portion is from –32,768 to
+32,767; you are assured of at least 6 significant digits (including integer and
fractional portion). You may omit the decimal point when no decimal
fraction is specified. If you do not specify a sign, the parameter is assumed
to be positive. Sending a number outside this range does not cause an error,
but the number is "clamped" to the limits of the range.
Certain commands have parameters which are restricted to a smaller range.
These ranges are listed in the parameter tables for each command. Sending
a number outside the reduced parameter range causes the command to be
ignored.
Lalwl — Any sequence of characters. In the GL/2 language, text is described
using the term "label'-. Refer to the Label (LB) command for a complete
description.
