Notation for Management Programming Interfaces
This list summarizes the notation conventions used in the boxed descriptions of programmatic
commands, event messages, and error lists in this manual.
UPPERCASE LETTERS.
Uppercase letters indicate names from definition files; enter these names
exactly as shown. For example:
ZCOM-TKN-SUBJ-SERV
lowercase letters
. Words in lowercase letters are words that are part of the notation, including
Data Definition Language (DDL) keywords. For example:
token-type
!r
. The !r notation following a token or field name indicates that the token or field is required. For
example:
ZCOM-TKN-OBJNAME token-type ZSPI-TYP-STRING. !r
!o
. The !o notation following a token or field name indicates that the token or field is optional. For
example:
ZSPI-TKN-MANAGER token-type ZSPI-TYP-FNAME32. !o
Change Bar Notation
Change bars are used to indicate substantive differences between this manual and its preceding
edition. Change bars are vertical rules placed in the right margin of changed portions of text,
figures, tables, examples, and so on. Change bars highlight new or revised information. For
example:
The message types specified in the REPORT clause are different in the COBOL environment and
the Common Run-Time Environment (CRE).
The CRE has many new message types and some new message type codes for old message types.
In the CRE, the message type SYSTEM includes all messages except LOGICAL-CLOSE and
LOGICAL-OPEN.
