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:

error := COMPRESSEDIT ( filenum ) ; !i,o

!i:i

In procedure calls, the !i:i notation follows an input string parameter that has a

corresponding parameter specifying the length of the string in bytes. For example:
