Z.314THE CHARACTER SET AND BASIC ELEMENTS1 GeneralThe character set and the basic elements used in the syntax are essential components of MML inputs, MMLoutputs and the ma
5、n-machine dialogue procedures.2 The character setThe character set to be used for the CCITT MML is a sub-set of the CCITT International Alphabet No. 5 whichhas been established jointly by the CCITT and the International Organization for Standardization.To allow for possible implementation of the CCI
6、TT MML using national languages, the sub-set is taken fromthe basic code table given in Recommendation T.50 1. The code positions reserved in this table for national use arenot contained in the basic character set of the CCITT MML, but may be used in these national implementations.According to Recom
7、mendation T.50 1 transmission control characters and information separators areintended to control or to facilitate transmission of information over telecommunication networks. Hence these controlcharacters are not used in the MML. This will avoid interference with data transmission procedures when
8、informationin the MML is transmitted via a data transmission network.It is furthermore recommended when information is printed or displayed that devices are used which print ordisplay different graphic symbols for the digit zero and the capital letter O.The characters selected for use in the CCITT M
9、ML are given in Table 1/Z.314.TABLE 1/Z.314Character set to be used for the CCITT man-machine language2 Fascicle X.7 - Rec. Z.314General remarks The characters proper to the open positions are considered as outside the MML. They areimplementation dependent and, together with the characters named in
10、the table but not included in the MML, may beused in accordance with the rules given in Recommendation T.50 1. The position of a character in the table can beindicated by its column and row number, e.g., Pos. 3/1 gives the position of the digit 1 in the table. The table gives alsothe binary codes al
11、located to the table positions according to Recommendation T.50 1. The bits are identified by b7,b6, . b1, where b7is the highest order, or most significant bit, and b1is the lowest order, or least significant bit.3 Summary of use of charactersThe use of characters in the character set, except for l
12、etters, digits, and characters used solely as graphiccharacters and format effectors, is described in Table 2/Z.314. CCITT International Alphabet No. 5 code is indicatedby position number (see Table 1/Z.314).3.1 LetterA letter is one of the characters listed in Table 1/Z.314, columns 4, 5, 6 and 7.
13、However, positions 5/15 and7/15 are excluded. The characters reserved for national use may be used as letters or as graphic characters.3.2 DigitA digit is one of the characters listed in Table 1/Z.314, column 3, positions 0 to 9.3.3 Graphic charactersGraphic characters are a collection of characters
14、 one or more of which may be used to improve readability.Graphic characters which have other syntactic uses are listed in Table 2/Z.314. The $ (position 2/4 in Table 1/Z.314) isthe only character used solely as a graphic character.3.4 Format effectorThe format effectors used in MML are the character
15、s FE1 to FE5 and SP (space) as defined in Table 1/Z.314.The character BACK SPACE (FE0 in Recommendation T.50 1) is not regarded as a format effector in the MML.4 Basic elements used in the syntaxSyntax diagrams of the basic elements used in the syntax are given in 5 in sub-paragraphs with numberscor
16、responding to those in 4.4.1 IdentifierAn identifier is a string of one or more characters which begins with a letter and, if applicable, subsequentlycontains only digits and/or letters e.g., U, UPDATE, UPD8.4.2 Symbolic nameA symbolic name is a string of one or more characters used for the purpose
17、of representing an entity whichcannot be adequately represented by numerals or identifiers. The string contains at least one letter and/or at least one ofthe graphic characters + (plus sign), # (number sign), % (percent sign) plus any number of digits, including none. Thecharacters may appear in any
18、 order. For example a time duration of 6 hours may be represented by the symbolic name06H, a 10 percent threshold value by 10%, a signalling system such as CCITT No. 6 by SS#6.4.3 Decimal numeralA decimal numeral is a character combination, consisting of a digit or digits and an optional . (full sto

If the numeric default base for an information unit(see Recommendation Z.315) is decimal, then the D is optional.4.4 Nondecimal numeralsA nondecimal numeral is a character combination preceded by a special character combination indic
