3.1 Console I/O Mode Control Characters
3.1.4 Console Numeric Expression Radix Specifiers
By default, the console treats any numeric expression used as an address or a
datum as a hexadecimal integer. The user may override the default radix by
using one of the specifiers listed in Table 3–3.
Table 3–3 Console Radix Specifiers
Form 1 Form 2 Radix
%b ^b Binary
%o ^o Octal
%d ^d Decimal
%x ^x Hexadecimal, default
For instance, the value 19 is by default hexadecimal, but it may also be
represented as %b11001, %o31, %d25, and %x19 (or in the alternate form as
^b11001, ^o31, ^d25, and ^x19).
3.1.5 Console Command Qualifiers
You can enter console command qualifiers in any order on the command line
after the command keyword. The three types of qualifiers are data control,
address space control, and command specific. Table 3–4 lists and describes the
data control and address space control qualifiers. Command specific qualifiers
are listed in the descriptions of individual commands.
Table 3–4 Console Command Qualifiers
Qualifier Description
Data Control
/B The data size is byte.
/W The data size is word.
/L The data size is longword.
/Q The data size is quadword.
/N:{count} An unsigned hexadecimal integer that is evaluated into a longword.
This qualifier determines the number of additional operations that
are to take place on EXAMINE, DEPOSIT, MOVE, and SEARCH
commands. An error message appears if the number overflows 32 bits.
