The parameter/mode strings used in the setMode( ) , getMode( ) ,
setGraph( ) , and setTable( ) functions do not translate into other
languages when used in a program. For example, when you write
a program in the French
Language mode then switch to the Italian
Language mode, the program will produce an error. To avoid this
error, you must substitute digits for the alpha characters. These
digits operate in all languages. This appendix contains the digit
substitutions for these strings.
The following examples show how to substitute digits in the
setMode( ) function.
Example 1: A program using alpha parameter/mode strings:
setMode (" Graph " , " Sequence ")
Example 2: The same program, substituting digits for those
strings:
setMode (" 1 " , " 4 ")
