| 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-1 [ , 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..."
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:
$process-name.#su-name
