| //label// | An optional label for the ITEMIZE structure. |
| **ITEMIZE** | An enumeration data structure. |
| //seed// | An integer constant or constant expression specifying the value of the first EQUATE in the structure. |
| **PRE** | Declare a label prefix for variables within the structure. |
| //equates// | Multiple consecutive EQUATE declarations which specify positive integer values in the range 0 to 4,294,967,295. |

An **ITEMIZE** structure declares an enumerated data structure. If the first //equate// does not declare a value and there is no //seed// value specified, its value is one (1). All following //equates// following the first increment by one (1) if no value is specified for the subsequent //equate//. If a value is specified on a subsequent //equate//, all //equates// following that continue incrementing by one (1) from the specified value.

//Equates// within the ITEMIZE structure are referenced by prepending the prefix to the label of the //equate// (PRE attribute--PRE:EquateLabel). If the ITEMIZE structure has an empty prefix, then the //equates// are referenced by prepending the ITEMIZE //label// to the label of the //equate// (//label//:EquateLabel). If there is no prefix or //label//, then the //equates// are referenced by their own label without a prefix.

**Example:**

**   ****ITEMIZE**

**False EQUATE(0)       !False = 0**

**True  EQUATE          !True = 1**

**   ****END**

**Color ****ITEMIZE(0),****PRE !Seed value is zero**

**Red    EQUATE         !Color:Red = 0**

**White  EQUATE         !Color:White = 1**

**Blue   EQUATE         !Color:Blue = 2**

**Pink   EQUATE(5)      !Color:Pink = 5**

**Green  EQUATE         !Color:Green = 6**

**Last   EQUATE**

**   ****END**

**Stuff ****ITEMIZE(Color:Last + 1),PRE(My)****   !Constant expression as seed**

**X     EQUATE                             !My:X = Color:Last + 1**

**Y     EQUATE                             !My:Y = Color:Last + 2**

**Z     EQUATE                             !My:Z = Color:Last + 3**

**   ****END**
