Change Bar Notation
{ } 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 might 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:
LBU { X | Y } POWER FAIL
process-name State changed from old-objstate to objstate
{ Operator Request. }
{ Unknown. }
% 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
| Vertical line. A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in
brackets or braces. For example:
Transfer status: { OK | Failed }
For example, this host error message contains two sets of alternatives, and reports
one item from each set:
<'Fatal' | 'Unexpected'> file system error <error code>
occurred during a <'ADD_NAME' | 'LISTEN' | 'RECEIVE_ANY' |
'SEND'> attempt.
The error message that you see contains this information:
Fatal or Unexpected
ADD_NAME or LISTEN or RECEIVE_ANY or SEND
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).
