Where applicable, each AText description includes its respective default value. If a default value is not specified, the AText is normally left blank.

For each AText, three options are available:

  • <Default> uses the default AText value.

  • <Suppress> suppresses the AText value.

  • <Edit value> modifies the AText value with the user-specified entry.

ATexts -244 to -249 are used to output directions in conjunction with other ATexts on items that carry a direction setting on the component record in the pipeline input data file. The proper direction as defined by ATexts -244 to -249 is appended to the specific fitting text to make a composite message, such as DIAL FACE WEST.
