C. Approved abbreviations for reserved words

Abbreviations can be helpful in reducing the number of characters or lines you need to describe a function or command. However, while abbreviations are helpful, they can create problems if you do not use them properly. If you use abbreviated reserved words, make sure they are identical to those in the approved list.

The following list contains approved abbreviations for reserved words. The approved abbreviation is shown in capital letters or in parentheses beside the word. If an abbreviation is not shown, you cannot abbreviate the reserved word.
