Language file keyword descriptions

The following examples demonstrate how to specify delimiter keywords in your search, as well as, how to exclude delimiter characters.

DELIM='cccc'

In addition to the default delimiter characters (any character that does not represent an alphabetic, numeric, or underscore character), specify additional characters to be considered as delimiter characters.

Example: Interpret the underscore (_) character as a delimiter

DELIM='_'

XDELIM='cccc'

Exclude delimiter characters.

Example 1: For COBOL source, do not consider the minus sign (-) as a delimiter character

XDELIM='-'

Example 2: For JCL, do not consider a period (.) as a delimiter character

XDELIM='.'

Example 3: Recognize other characters, such as, umlaut characters and accented characters, as part of the word

XDELIM='âäàáãåçñéêëèíîïìðýôöòóõûüùúÿÂÄÀÁÃÅÇÑÉÊËÈÍÎÏÌÐÝÔÖÒÓÕÛÜÙÚ'

XEND='ccc'

Exclude specific characters from the end of a string.

Example: For JCL, a period can occur as an intermediate character in a data set name, but not at the end

XEND='.'

LANGAUTO=YES

Specify this keyword to activate automatic word detection.

XWORD=(word1,word2,...wordn)

Exclude words from being indexed. This keyword can be used for words that occur frequently.

Example: Exclude the words IF, THEN, DO, and END for the REXX language

XWORD=(IF,THEN,DO,END)

MARgins=(start,end)

Specify a start and ending column.

Example: For COBOL, process word starting from column 8 to column 72

MAR=(8,72)

MIN=n

Use this keyword to provide a minimum length for a word.

Example: Remove simple count variables that are one byte long such as, I, J, K.

MIN=2

CASE=YES

Specify CASE=YES to produce case-sensitive word matching for the index. The default is NO.

DUP=YES

Specify DUP=YES to process duplicate member names. The default is NO.

Example 1: JCL

START='&'
XDELIM='.&#' 
XEND='.' 
DUP=YES 
XWORD=(DD,DSN) 

Example 2: COBOL

XDELIM='-'
XEND=’-‘'
MAR=(8,72)
XWORD(IF,PERFORM,CALL)

Example 3: Assembler

START='@&'    
XDELIM='@'    
MIN=2         
MAR=1,72     

Example 4: Treat numbers as words

The default behavior is to exclude numbers as start characters therefore excluding numbers as words. To recognize numbers as words, and allow for intermediate decimal points, specify the following:

START='0123456789'    
XDELIM='.'  
XEND=’.’
