Directives

USER_LEX Define Directive Keywords

Format	USER_LEX alt_string$=directive$   Where:   alt_string$ Alternate/translated form to be used in place of a ProvideX directive.
	directive$	Standard ProvideX directive.
Description	Use the USER_LEX directive to extend the internal ProvideX compiler definitions to include new symbols and directives. Use this directive to simplify a conversion from other languages to ProvideX. After ProvideX executes the USER_LEX directive, any statements sent to the ProvideX compiler where the alternate string expression is found will be translated into the internal object code for the standard string in directive$. It is mandatory that you use valid ProvideX object syntax in the directive$. Use spaces in the string expression to indicate that spaces can exist in the string when compiling.
Example	To allow the use of SPC( ) in lieu of PAD( ):   USER_LEX "SPC ("= "PAD ("
*Note*	The internal syntax values in the directive$ must include the proper spacing and all related control characters. In the above example "SPC"="PAD"alone is not acceptable. You must include the space and open parenthesis after SPC and after PAD to indicate that a space can occur between the words (SPC / PAD) and the open parenthesis.
