HELPLIB.HLB  —  DEPOSIT  Qualifiers

1    /ASCII

    Indicates that the specified data is ASCII.

    Only one data item is allowed; all characters to the right
    of the equal sign (=)  are considered to be part of a single
    string. Unless they are enclosed within quotation marks (" "),
    characters are converted to uppercase and multiple spaces are
    compressed to a single space before the data is written in
    memory.

    The DEPOSIT command converts the data to its binary equivalent
    before placing it in virtual memory. When you specify /ASCII,
    or when ASCII mode is the default, the location you specify is
    assumed to be hexadecimal.

2    /BYTE

    Requests that data be deposited 1 byte at a time.

3    /DECIMAL

    Indicates that the data is decimal. The DEPOSIT command converts
    the data to its binary equivalent before placing it in virtual
    memory.

4    /HEXADECIMAL

    Indicates that the data is hexadecimal. The DEPOSIT command
    converts the data to its binary equivalent before placing it
    in virtual memory.

5    /LONGWORD

    Requests that data be deposited a longword at a time.

6    /OCTAL

    Indicates that the data is octal. The DEPOSIT command converts
    the data to its binary equivalent before placing it in virtual
    memory.
