General Syntax Notation

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 ]

[ - ] {0123456789}

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 typed 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 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
