EOF-1A

Treats a 0x1a character in the source file as the end of file.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.—EOF-1A---><  
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None.

Properties:

Default: EOF-1A (Windows) NOEOF-1A (UNIX)
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Any

Comments:

Use NOEOF-1A if you embed 0x1A characters in literals in your source code. Alternatively, use the x"1A" literal format to represent 0x1A characters in your literals.

Using x'1A' is a historical method of indicating an end of file on old PC operating systems.
