MX Release 3.1 (H06.23+, J06.12+)

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:

"{" module-name [, module-name]... "}"

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:

DAY (datetime-expression)

DAY(datetime-expression)

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:

myfile.sh

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:

match-value [NOT] LIKE pattern

[ESCAPE esc-char-expression]
