The $CODE function, along with $DECODE, provides an encoding/decoding facility in User Language. $CODE and $DECODE operate on code tables that are defined, created, and controlled by the system manager. These tables can be searched but not changed by User Language functions. 
$CODE and $DECODE search tables that are external to a <var class="product">Model 204</var> file. These tables are independent of a field's CODED/NON-CODED attribute, which affects how the field is stored internally in the <var class="product">Model 204</var> file. 
The $CODE function takes two arguments: 
<ul>
<li>The first argument contains the name of the table to be searched. </li>
</li>
<li>$CODE returns the code for the character string value contained in the second argument. A null value is returned if the string is not contained within the table or if the table does not exist. A nonexistent table also causes the nonfatal message:</li>
<var>INVALID CODE TABLE IDENTIFIER=X</var>.
</li>
</ul>
Example
This request prompts the user for the full name of a state but performs the record search on the coded value for that state.
BEGIN
%STCD = $CODE ('STATE', $READ ('ENTER STATE NAME'))
GET.RECS: FIND ALL RECORDS FOR WHICH
STATE = %STCD
END FIND
FOR EACH RECORD IN GET.RECS
