Creating an ASCII Documentation File
When creating an ASCII documentation file, follow these guidelines:
• To create the file, use a text editor that produces only printable ASCII
characters, with no control or hidden characters.
• Do not use graphics characters. IBM extended characters can be used within
comment strings and as part of symbols.
The ASCII documentation file may contain one or more of the following:
• address comments
• instruction comments
• rung comments
• symbols
You can group statements together by keyword, or begin each statement with a
keyword. The following example shows an ASCII file using grouped statements.
Notice that all symbols group together after you enter the keyword “SYM”. The
address comments follow the keyword “AC”. Y ou can have the keyword appear
multiple times in a file.
SYM
O:1.2/3 UPLOADED
O:2.1/11 EMPTY_LITE
O:10.2/4 NOZ_FILL
AC
O:11.1/6 “comment–6”
O:9.0/5 “Temporary\Storage\Point”
I:3.0/10 “Conveyor\Running”
