Ellipsis ... An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates that you can
repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number of times. For example:
{0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}…
An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that you can repeat
that syntax item any number of times. For example:
"
s-char
…"
Punctuation Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously described must
be entered as shown. For example:
error
:= NEXTFILENAME (
file-name
) ;
LISTOPENS SU $
process-name
.#
su-name
Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate the symbol is a
required character that you must enter as shown. For example:
"["
repetition-constant-list
"]"
Item Spacing Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is a punctuation
symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:
CALL STEPMOM (
process-id
) ;
If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In the following
example, there are no spaces permitted between the period and any other items:
\node1.$
process2
.#
subdevice
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:
ADD [ /OUT
file-spec
/ ] ENTRY
manager-name.object-name
, TEXT {
text-string
|
expression
}
