The SKIP parameter is used to skip unwanted positions.
-
n can be any number from 1 through 32752.
-
n can be in the form of u.v for specifying a bit length, where u is a number from 0 through 32752 and v is a number from 0 through 7. Note that u and v cannot both be zero.
SKIP,n increases the next position by n bytes. The next position is used when an asterisk (*) replaces p in a field_name statement.
Following is an example which uses SKIP,n with other dictionary statements:
