Code formats

The default and valid format for each type of generated code uses a series of characters to represent the character types. The following table lists the characters you can use to control code formats.

Characters	Treated As
A-Z, any symbol, b, d-m, o-w, y, z (or, b-z except c, n, x)	A constant value in the generated code
a	Any uppercase letter A-Z
c or x	Any uppercase letter A-Z, or any number, 0-9
x	Any uppercase letter A-Z, any number 0-9. However, users can replace the generated character with any ASCII character. To specify variable length codes, the code format must end with one or more " x" characters, and the allowVariableLengthCodes property must be set to " yes".
n	Any number 0-9
