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

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

]
