Example Notation
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 / ] CONTROLLER
[ , attribute-spec ]...
Example Notation
In examples with user input, user input is in bold type and it is assumed that the user
presses the return key after typing the input. For instance, in the example:
ENTER RUN CODE
?123
CODE RECEIVED: 123.00
the system displays ENTER RUN CODE on one line and prompts the user with ? on the
next line, the user types 123 and presses return, and the system displays:
CODE RECEIVED: 123.00.
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.
