SQL/MX 3.2.1 Management Manual (H06.26+, J06.15+)

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 }

| 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 ]…
