Represents the Special Function Control Code
(SFCC). Enter the specific SFCC for your VGL
configuration.
The Create Symbol command. Enter lowercase z.
Represents the symbol being defined. See the
Comments below and Table 19. Enter a lowercase
character from a through g to specify where your
symbol is stored. (Make a note of the
corresponding "Print" Value; you need this number
in your Print Symbols command when you print the
symbol as discussed on page 150.)
The data required to define the symbol. Each dot
row of a standard size symbol contains three
character cells comprised of four dot rows each,
which equals a total of 12 dots per row. Since the
standard size symbol can only be 12 dot rows by 12
dot columns, the maximum number of character
cells used to define a standard size symbol is 36
(12 dot rows X 3 character cells per row). ASCII
characters from hex 0 through F are used to
describe the dot pattern for each cell of the symbol.
Enter hex values from 0 through F from Table 20 to
describe the dot pattern.
If more than 36 character cells are input, the extra
data is ignored until a valid terminator, such as
(cc)G, (cc)-, or (cc)* is found.
Terminator. Enter the SFCC for your VGL
configuration immediately followed by G, the
universal terminator, or another valid Graphics
Mode command.
