Data formats
------------
Most of the data will be output in a pretty predictable way.... strings get
printed out as letters (eg "this is a string"), numbers get printed out as
numbers converted to a string (eg "123456789"), and dates get printed out
in US format (eg "12/25/95" is Xmas Day) ... this last one was a very
difficult decision, but I knew you'd all moan like hell if it was in the
English format "25/12/95"!!!!
However, some fields aren't so obvious, so here's a list of the "odd ones
out".
1) single bit fields, displaying as "X" or "."... these come from the TBBS
runtime substitution parameters:
%CANANSI%
%CFGANSI%
%PWDEXP%
2) single bit fields, displaying as "T" or "F"... these come from either
the ULEDIT print templates, or are new values:
%ASKPREPARE%
%FSEMODE%
%MSGPROMPT%
%LINEFEEDS%
%UPPERCASE%
%GRAPHICS%
%ANSI%
%KEEP%
%REVIEWED%
%FULLACCESS%
%INVISIBLE%
%PUBLICACCT%
%READNEWS%
%DELETED%
3) miscellaneous:
%LASTLn% "mm/dd/yy hh:mm"
%CLSCODES% "nn, nn, nn, nn, nn, nn". The first "nn" has leading spaces
trimmed, all others are 3 chars wide.... so string is 21 to 23
chars long (don't complain to me, that's the way it is in
ULEDIT!) To fix to 23 chars (first "nn" always 3 chars) use
"%CLSCODES:+23%".
%An% "XXX...X."
%BCnLEFT% "hhh:mm"
%SYSFG0% "X . X . X . X . X" (Sys Flags 1 to 9)
%SYSFG1% ". X . X . X . X . X" (Sys Flags 10 to 19)
%SYSFG2% ". X . X . X . X . X" (Sys Flags 20 to 29)
%SYSFG3% ". X . X . X . X . X" (Sys Flags 30 to 39)
%SYSFG4% ". X . X . X . X . X" (Sys Flags 40 to 49)
%SYSFG5% ". X . X . X . X . X" (Sys Flags 50 to 59)
%SYSFG6% ". X . X ." (Sys Flags 60 to 64)
(to make SYSFG0 "line up" with the others, use "%SYSFG0:+19%"
...this is another "quirk" from the way ULEDIT does things)
%SFG0% "X.X.X.X.X" (Sys Flags 1 to 9)
%SFG1% ".X.X.X.X.X" (Sys Flags 10 to 19)
%SFG2% ".X.X.X.X.X" (Sys Flags 20 to 29)
%SFG3% ".X.X.X.X.X" (Sys Flags 30 to 39)
%SFG4% ".X.X.X.X.X" (Sys Flags 40 to 49)
%SFG5% ".X.X.X.X.X" (Sys Flags 50 to 59)
%SFG6% ".X.X." (Sys Flags 60 to 64)
(to make SFG0 "line up" with the others, use "%SYSFG0:+10%")
