specifies any SeeView statement. The term compound-statement refers to the
block of statements delimited by the BEGIN .. END; delimiters. A compound
statement can appear anywhere a simple statement can appear. Consider:
IF condition THEN statement
It also means:
IF condition THEN compound-statement

You can use nested compound statements.
