A-Shell Consolidated Reference

Updated and reviewed April 2013

setdef is a string—or in some cases an ordered map—specifying any of the following:

List of Valid Inputs

Dummy List of Inputs

List of Paired Inputs

Date or Value Range Checking

Form Field

Character Acceptance List

Regular Expression

Note that since the typical length requirement for the setdef string can vary widely, it is particularly convenient to map it as a dynamic string; see S and X variables in Dynamically Sized Variables.
