NOTATION DESCRIPTION
nonitalics Words in syntax statements which are not in italics must
be entered exactly as shown. Punctuation characters
other than brackets, braces and ellipses must also be
entered exactly as shown. For example:
EXIT;
italics Words in syntax statements which are in italics denote a
parameter which must be replaced by a user-supplied
variable. For example:
CLOSE filename
[ ] An element inside brackets in a syntax statement is
optional. Several elements stacked inside brackets
means the user may select any one or none of these
elements. For example:
[A]
[B] User may select A or B or neither.
{ } When several elements are stacked within braces in a
syntax statement, the user must select one of those
elements. For example:
{A}
{B} User must select A or B or C.
{C}
... A horizontal ellipsis in a syntax statement indicates
that a previous element may be repeated. For example:
[,itemname]...;
In addition, vertical and horizontal ellipses may be
used in examples to indicate that portions of the
example have been omitted.
, A shaded delimiter preceding a parameter in a syntax
statement indicates that the delimiter must be supplied
whenever (a) that parameter is included or (b) that
parameter is omitted and any other parameter which
follows is included. For example:
itema[,itemb][,itemc]"
means that the following are allowed:
itema
itema,itemb
itema,itemb,itemc
itema,,itemc
Å When necessary for clarity, the symbol Å may be used in
a syntax statement to indicate a required blank or an
exact number of blanks. For example:
SET[(modifier)] Å (variable);
underlining Brackets, braces or ellipses appearing in syntax or
format statements which must be entered as shown will be
underlined. For example:
LET var[ [subscript]] = value
Output and input/output parameters are underlined. A
notation in the description of each parameter
distinguishes input/output from output parameters. For
example:
CREATE (parm1, parm2, flags, error)
shading Shading represents inverse video on the terminal's
screen. In addition, it is used to emphasize key
portions of an example.
The symbol may be used to indicate a key on the
terminal's keyboard. For example, Return indicates the
carriage return key.
Controlchar Control characters are indicated by Control followed by
the character. For example, ControlY means the user
presses the control key and the character Y
simultaneously.
