Use of symbols
The levels of nesting in the
syntax are separated by parentheses.
When you enter the commands, enter the following symbols exactly as
they appear in the list:
- ,
- comma
- -
- hyphen
- =
- equals
- .
- period
- :
- colon
- ( )
- parentheses
The following symbols are used to distinguish
operands and command
syntax. Do not enter them when you enter
commands:
- brackets [ ]
- mean that you can select one of the operands, but they can be omitted. If the brackets are nested, the outermost operand (enclosed by one pair of brackets) is the highest level of nesting. That operand must be selected to select the next lower-level operand nested within it, and so forth.
- underscore ______
- denotes a default option. If you don't specify an operand, this is the operand the system selects.
- vertical bar |
- separates operand alternatives within brackets.
