Accessibility
features

This document is available in an HTML version that is specialized for
accessibility. You can navigate the HTML with an adaptive technology such as
a screen reader, or view it with a screen enlarger.

Adaptive Server Enterprise and the HTML documentation have been tested for
compliance with U.S. government Section 508 Accessibility requirements.
Documents that comply with Section 508 generally also meet non-U.S.
accessibility guidelines, such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
guidelines for Web sites.

The online help for this product is also provided in HTML, which you can
navigate using a screen reader.

Note

You might need to configure your accessibility tool for optimal use.

Some screen readers pronounce text based on its case; for example, they
pronounce ALL UPPERCASE TEXT as initials, and MixedCase Text as
words. You might find it helpful to configure your tool to announce syntax
conventions. Consult the documentation for your tool.
