Syntax ambiguities
5-16
Because FDL keywords can be abbreviated to the first three
characters, and because certain two-character keywords can be
interpreted in more than one way, the following ambiguities
exist:
•
IN (preposition) is interpreted as IN (inch). For example:
TEXT 1 IN BOX...;
Also,
TEXT SPACED 1 IN BOX...;
The keyword IN is interpreted as INCH, while the required
keyword IN (preposition) is detected as missing and an error
message results. The solution to this situation is to write:
TEXT 1 IN IN BOX...; or
TEXT 1 INCH IN BOX...; or
TEXT 1 DOTS IN BOX...;
•
FMTn cannot be abbreviated.
•
[DOT]TED is interpreted as [DOT]S. For example:
AT 18 DRAW 5 HORIZONTAL LINES FROM 27.5 TO 37.5
DOT...;
The keyword DOT is interpreted as DOTS, which is valid in
this position. The keyword DOTTED is also valid in this
position but must be spelled out in full.
•
[CEN]TER is interpreted as [CEN]TIMETERS. For example:
TEXT 10 CEN IN BOX.....;
The keyword CEN is interpreted as CENTIMETERS, which is
valid in this position. The keyword CENTER is also valid in this
position but must be spelled out in full.
