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 ]…

!i and !o In procedure calls, the !i notation follows an input parameter (one that

passes data to the called procedure); the !o notation follows an output

parameter (one that returns data to the calling program). For example:

CALL CHECKRESIZESEGMENT ( segment-id

, error ) ;

!i,o In procedure calls, the !i,o notation follows an input/output parameter

(one that both passes data to the called procedure and returns data

to the calling program). For example:

error := COMPRESSEDIT ( filenum ) ;

!i,o

!i:i In procedure calls, the !i:i notation follows an input string parameter

that has a corresponding parameter specifying the length of the string

in bytes. For example:

error := FILENAME_COMPARE_ ( filename1:length

!i:i

, filename2:length ) ;

!i:i

!o:i In procedure calls, the !o:i notation follows an output buffer parameter

that has a corresponding input parameter specifying the maximum

length of the output buffer in bytes. For example:

error := FILE_GETINFO_ ( filenum

, [ filename:maxlen ] ) ;

!o:i
