-1 00010203...09 means that you can substitute ?1 into the mask and it will try the characters 00 through 09 in that space.
If you did something like
-1 abc
-2 xyz
-3 123
Then set the mask to ?1?2?3 it would generate every combination of those, such as:
ax1
ax2
ax3
ay1
...
cz2
cz3
As I understand it, SL3 uses a special character set (not ASCII characters for 0-9, rather in binary), which is what the example above prefixes each with a 0. It's not ASCII 0, 1, 2, etc, but binary values, so the 0 prefix tells ocl to use the literal value rather than the ASCII character.
Hopefully I explained that clearly.
