Truncation Rule

Truncation Rule

The truncation rule for the keywords used in headers and parameters is:

•If the long form has four or fewer characters, there is no change in the short form. When the long form has more than four characters the short form is just the first four characters, unless the fourth character is a vowel. In that case only the first three characters are used.

There are some commands that do not conform to the truncation rule by design.

These will be noted in their respective description pages.

Some examples of how the truncation rule is applied to various commands are shown in table 5-1.
