Change Bar Notation

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.

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:

CREATE TABLE base-table-name

( column-element [, column-element ] ... )

If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted.

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.
