SEGMENT= n
specifies the amount of data (in bytes) to be put into the variables
specified. See “Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this
section, for more information.
DATA= text
contains the message.
Note text must be enclosed in quotes if it contains any keywords.
MVNUM= nn
specifies the major vectors to be formatted. If the specified major vector does not
exist, no variables are created.
PREFIX= prefix
allows a prefix other than $CNM to be used for the variables created during
segmentation of the RU into variables. The prefix can be from 1 through 100
characters and must adhere to the standard NCL variable-naming conventions.
(See Section 9, “Variables,” for a full description of NCL variables, including their
naming conventions.)
TYPE
specifies the type of formatting that is required.
RU
specifies that the supplied data is an entire CNM RU and is to be formatted
like the CNMREAD TYPE=VECTOR operation.
SV
specifies that the data to be formatted is one or more concatenated subvectors.
These vectors have the format ln , where l is the length of the subvector
(inclusive of length byte and identifier byte) and n is the 1-byte subvector
identifier.
The segmentation process divides the data into its constituent subvectors, and
places the subvectors in variables of the form & prefix SV nnoo . A variable
& prefix SVLIST is created, and contains a concatenated list of all the 1-byte
identifiers. See the example after this description.
