Truncation Rule
Truncation Rule
The truncation rule is used to produce the short form (abbreviated spelling) for
the mnemonics used in the programming headers and parameter arguments.
Table 5-1 shows how the truncation rule is applied to commands.
Table 5-1
Mnemonic Truncation
Command Truncation Rule
The mnemonic is the first four characters of the keyword, unless the fourth character
is a vowel. Then the mnemonic is the first three characters of the keyword. If the
length of the keyword is four characters or less, this rule does not apply, and the
short form is the same as the long form.
