Whenever an IPCS subcommand requires a number between 0 and 2
31, that number can be entered in any of
the following ways:
- nnnnnnnnnn
- This notation describes a decimal number. The value, nnnnnnnnnn,
is a positive 1- to 10-digit decimal number.
Note: The maximum
value that can be entered using decimal notation is 2147843647 (231-1), one less than the maximum positive
integer that IPCS can process (for example, as a data length or a
page size). In order to designate the maximum value to IPCS, hexadecimal
or binary notation must be used.
- X‘xxxxxxxx’ or X‘xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx’
- This notation describes a hexadecimal number. The value, xxxxxxxx,
is a positive 1- to 8-digit hexadecimal number, preceded by X. Hexadecimal
digits A through F can be entered using either uppercase or lowercase
letters.
An underscore (_) might be used between hexadecimal
digits to improve legibility for values greater than 32 bits.
- B‘bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb’
- This notation describes a binary number. The value, bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb,
is a positive 1- to 31-digit binary number preceded by B.
