Figurative Constants Rules

When using figurative constants, keep in mind the following:

• After figurative constants are set/reset to their appropriate length, their normal collating sequence can be altered, if an alternate collating sequence is specified.
• Figurative constants are valid in Compare Operations, such as CAB, COMPARE, DOUNTIL, DOWHILE and IF; when the associated Field is the field with which the figurative constant is to be compared.
• Figurative constants can be used in compare operations as long as one of the factors is not a figurative constant.
