Change Bar Notation

[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose items that are sometimes, but not always, displayed. For

example:

Event number = number [ Subject = first-subject-value ]

A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list of all possible items that can be

displayed, of which one or none might actually be displayed. The items in the list can

be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on each side of the list, or

horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by vertical lines. For

example:

proc-name trapped [ in SQL | in SQL file system ]

{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list of all possible items that can be

displayed, of which one is actually displayed. 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:

obj-type obj-name state changed to state, caused by

{ Object | Operator | Service }

process-name State changed from old-objstate to objstate

{ Operator Request. }

{ Unknown. }

| Vertical Line. A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in

brackets or braces. For example:

Transfer status: { OK | Failed }

% Percent Sign. A percent sign precedes a number that is not in decimal notation. The

% notation precedes an octal number. The %B notation precedes a binary number.

The %H notation precedes a hexadecimal number. For example:

%005400

%B101111

%H2F

P=%p-register E=%e-register

Change Bar Notation

Change bars are used to indicate substantive differences between this manual and its

preceding version. Change bars are vertical rules placed in the right margin of changed

portions of text, figures, tables, examples, and so on. Change bars highlight new or

revised information. For example:

The message types specified in the REPORT clause are different in the COBOL85

environment and the Common Run-Time Environment (CRE).

The CRE has many new message types and some new message type codes for old

message types. In the CRE, the message type SYSTEM includes all messages except

LOGICAL-CLOSE and LOGICAL-OPEN.
