the following data types for the variables in a command string:

Description |

Strings |
String data
types are delimited by leading and trailing white spaces and quotation marks.
MCI removes single quotation marks from a string. To put a quotation mark in
a string, use a set of two quotation marks where you want to embed your
quotation mark. To use an empty string, use two quotation marks delimited by
leading and trailing white spaces. |
|
Signed long
integers |
Signed long
integer data types are delimited by leading and trailing white spaces. Unless
otherwise specified, integers can be positive or negative. If you use
negative integers, you should not separate the minus sign and the first digit
with a space. |
|
Rectangles |
Rectangle data types are an ordered list of four signed short
values. White space delimits this data type and separates each integer in the
list. |
