I know, but I modeled quotechar and terminator after STRING's pad and
terminator (which would need ord too if any uses of them were other
than None, 0, or the default.) If I modifiy the code to allow a
multicharacter terminator string (something not yet needed), I will
change the keyword to something unique like 'terminatorstring'.

Post by Roger Binns* SAMSTRING {'quotechar': None, 'terminator': ord(' '), 'constant': 'PBOKR:'}
The ord(' ') seems yucky? Can't the terminator be stored as a string?
(You could even allow it to be a list of characters that could be
terminator).
