a blank line. This spacing distinguishes items in a continuation line from items in a

vertical list of selections. For example:

[ , 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 !i

, error ) ; !o

!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 !i

, [ filename:maxlen ] ) ; !o:i
