Syntax

  %y(counter-name)


Purpose

The "%y" format item is used to output the symbols defined in the symbol declaration. No modifiers are used with this format.

The "%y" format item is replaced by the string expression whose position in the symbol declaration corresponds to the value of the output counter. Thus, the first string is output if the counter value is 1, the second string is output if the counter value is 2, and so on. If the counter value is greater than the number of strings in the declaration, the strings are used, but duplicated for each pass through the list of strings. Counter values less than one are output in the same manner, but start with the last string in the declaration. Therefore 0 is converted to the last string, -1 the next-to-last string, and so on.
