Defining the Logical Address

The logical address consists of the file type, file number, a delimiter (a colon or
semicolon) and the largest logical address. For example:

DATA N 7 : 5 1 2 3 4 5 6

Data File Addressing

If you precede the logical address with three periods (...), the import utility places
the data contained in the value list into the data file starting at the logical address.
Otherwise, the import utility places the data contained in the value list into the data
file starting at word 0. The import utility determines the correct size for the file
based on the number of data elements in the value list.

String File Addressing

When defining a String (ST) file address, you must precede the file type with three
periods (such as DATA ...ST#:# where the #s are the file number and element
number [respectively], ranging from ST9:0–ST9:255 through ST255:0–ST255:255).
