Text Files Used with the Recorder
• If no definition is provided for a required item (that is, it is undefined), necessary
data is considered to be incomplete and invalid for registration or testing.
Identifiers are not case sensitive.
• All item definition values are character strings consisting of alphanumeric
symbols other than "<" (3Ch), ">" (3Eh), "\" (5Ch), "&" (26h) and "," (2Ch), control
character codes 00h to 1Fh, and "Delete" character code 7Fh. Characters
(including spaces) following "=" on a line are considered to be the definition
value. Any invalid characters are handled as spaces. Characters exceeding the
maximum character length are ignored.
• Identifiers having no defining characters are considered to be undefined. For
example, if a line contains a "=" followed by a line feed character, that identifier
is considered to be undefined. If an identifier is multiply defined on different lines,
the last definition line has priority.
