The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned braces on each side of the
list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated by vertical lines. For example:
LISTOPENS PROCESS { $appl-mgr-name }
{ $process-name }
ALLOWSU { ON | OFF }

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”

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 "]"
