data

(cc)A

(cc) Represents the Special Function Control Code

(SFCC). Enter the specific SFCC for your Code V

configuration.

X Specifies the Ignore Data command. Enter X to

ignore all subsequent characters until the Ignore

Data command is disabled.

data

Represents the data. Any text and characters sent

following the Ignore Data command are not

processed.

(cc)A Disables Ignore Data. Enter the SFCC for your

Code V configuration immediately followed by A to

disable the Ignore Data feature in order to process

characters.

NOTE: No function occurs if a (cc)A command is used independent of the

(cc)X command.

Comments Some host systems use fixed record lengths which causes the

end of a line of data in the data stream to be filled with characters

and spaces. If the Code V file on your system contains padded

characters or spaces before the SFCC, this padded data must be

ignored before the Code V can operate. When the X command is

sent to ignore data, all data following the command is ignored

until the (cc)A command to ignore data is disabled.
