A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can choose one item or

none. The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on
each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by
vertical lines. For example:

FC [ num ]

[ -num ]
[ text ]

K [ X | D ] address

{ } Braces

A group of items enclosed in braces is a list from which you are required to choose one

item. The items in the list can 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:

LISTOPENS PROCESS { $appl-mgr-name }

{ $process-name }

ALLOWSU { ON | OFF }

| Vertical Line

A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in brackets or

braces. For example:

INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }

… 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:

M address [ , new-value ]

[ - ] {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

"

Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously described must be
