The characters set to pattern are displayed in a simple representation on the file part. When the cursor pauses over the file part, the specific pattern is displayed.

• The pattern corresponding to each character in the simple representation is as follows:

  • A - Any uppercase letter

  • a - Any lowercase letter

  • # - Any digit from zero to nine

• If you define a character to be either a letter or a number, then the character is displayed as a lowercase or uppercase letter depending upon the selection of lowercase or uppercase for alphabet.

• The constant value in the file parts is displayed in bold.

• New parts can use defined patterns, but only when the pattern is defined using the Set Part option.
