Value separators

If you specify list-directed formatting for a formatted record, that record consists of a sequence of values and value separators.

where:
value
is a constant or null.
value separator
is a comma, slash, semicolon or set of adjacent blanks that occur between values in a record. You can specify one or more blanks before and after a comma or slash. If decimal comma mode is in effect, a semicolon replaces a comma as a value separator.
null
is one of the following:
  • Two successive commas, with zero or more intervening blanks.
  • A comma followed by a slash, with zero or more intervening blanks.
  • An initial comma in the record, preceded by zero or more blanks.

A null value has no effect on the definition status of the corresponding input list item.
