| Vertical Line A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed
in brackets or braces. For example:
INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }
… Ellipsis An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates
that you can repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number
of times. For example:
M address [ , new-value ]…
- ] {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}…
An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that
you can repeat that syntax item any number of times. For example:
"s-char…"
Punctuation Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously
described must be typed as shown. For example:
error := NEXTFILENAME ( file-name ) ;
LISTOPENS SU $process-name.#su-name
Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate
the symbol is a required character that you must type as shown. For
example:
"[" repetition-constant-list "]"
Item Spacing Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is
a punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:
CALL STEPMOM ( process-id ) ;
If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In
this example, no spaces are permitted between the period and any
other items:
$process-name.#su-name
Line Spacing If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each
continuation line is indented three spaces and is separated from the
preceding line by a blank line. This spacing distinguishes items in a
continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections. For
example:
ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] LINE
[ , attribute-spec ]…
