Entering an address mask
The following rules apply to the analysis of the address input in address masks:
•
The characters that are entered are inserted in the address sections from left to right.
•
Missing characters are normally substituted with asterisks "*". However, if the input is
terminated with a space, the missing characters are substituted with spaces.
•
Exception:
If an address section begins with an asterisk "*", and no further asterisks occur before
the next delimiter, the characters following the asterisk are moved to the right up to
the delimiter.
This exception does not apply to the dummy address section.
•
The above rules apply both to the address section and the dummy address section.
Spaces are represented by underscores "_" in the example.

The function SER,UA contains a test program that allows the above logic to be checked.
An asterisk "*" in an address mask has the function of a wildcard that can represent any
active character at the respective location.
A percent sign "%" in an address mask has the function of a wildcard that can represent
any active character
except for a space
at the respective locatio
n.
