Notation for Messages
If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In this example,
there are no spaces 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 ]…
Notation for Messages

Change Bar Notation
Change bars are used to indicate substantive differences between this edition of the
manual and the preceding edition. 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 COBOL
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.
