@Alternate - Alternate Operator Set

Syntax

@ALTERNATE

Use

@ALTERNATE brings an alternate set of operators into effect that replace the normal ABEL-HDL operators if you feel more comfortable with the alternate set because of their familiarity with operators used in other languages.

The alternate operators remain in effect until the @STANDARD directive is issued or the end of the module is reached.

Note: The use of the alternate operator set precludes use of the ABEL-HDL addition, multiplication and division operators because they represent the OR, AND and NOT logical operators in the alternate set. The !, &, #, $ and !$ will still work when @alternate is in effect.

The table below summarizes the alternate operator set.
