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 type 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 this example, no
spaces are 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 ]

!i and !o

In procedure calls, the !i notation follows an input parameter (one that passes data to the
called procedure); the !o notation follows an output parameter (one that returns data to
the calling program). For example:

CALL CHECKRESIZESEGMENT (

segment-id !i

,

error ) ; !o

!i,o

In procedure calls, the !i,o notation follows an input/output parameter (one that both
passes data to the called procedure and returns data to the calling program). For example:
