| ☜ | Values of Subscripts1984 Version of ANSI Standard | ☞ | ||||
Local variable subscript values are nonempty strings which may only contain characters from the ASCII printable characters subset. The length of each subscript is limited to 31 characters. When the subscript value satisfies the definition of a numeric data value (Section 3.2.4.1 of the MUMPS Language Specification), it is further subject to the restrictions of number range given in Section 2.5, and to the set of nonnegative numbers only. The use of subscript values which do not meet these criteria is undefined, except for the use of the empty string as the last subscript of a reference in the context of the $ORDER function, and the use of the value "–1" as the last subscript of a reference in the context of the $NEXT function.
