Drives on page 3-2.

General Syntax Notat ion

This list summarizes the notation conventions for syntax presentation in this manual.

UPPERCASE LETTERS. Uppercase letters indicate keywords and reserved words. Type

these items exactly as shown. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

MAXATTACH

lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items that you supply.

Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

file-name

computer type. Computer type letters within text indicate C and Open System Services

(OSS) keywords and reserved words. Type these items exactly as shown. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

myfile.c

italic computer type. Italic computer type letters within text indicate C and Open

System Services (OSS) variable items that you supply. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

pathname

[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose optional syntax items. For example:

TERM [\system-name.]$terminal-name

INT[ERRUPTS]

A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can choose one item or none. The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on

M8201R Fibre Channel to SCSI Router Installation and User’s Guide—529971-005

About This Manual

General Syntax Notation

each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by vertical lines. For example:

FC [ num ] [ -num ] [ text ]

K [ X | D ] address

{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list from which you are required to

choose one item. The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated by vertical lines. For example:

LISTOPENS PROCESS { $appl-mgr-name } { $process-name }

ALLOWSU { ON | OFF }

| Vertical Line. A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in

brackets or braces. For example:

INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }

… Ellipsis. An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates that you

can repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number of times. For example:

M address [ , new-value ]… [ - ] {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}…

An ellipsis imme diately foll owing a single syntax item indi cates that you can repeat that syntax item any number of times. For example:

"s-char…"

Punctuation. Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously

described must be typed as shown. For example:

error := NEXTFILENAME ( file-name ) ;

LISTOPENS SU $process-name.#su-name

Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate the symbol is a required character that you must type as shown. For example:

"[" repetition-constant-list "]"

Item Sp aci ng. Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is a

punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:

CALL STEPMOM ( process-id ) ;

If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In this example, no spaces are permitted between the period and any other items:

$process-name.#su-name

Notation for Messages

Line Sp acing. If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each

continuation line is indented three spaces and is separated from the preceding line by a blank line. This spacing distinguishes items in a continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections. For example:

ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] LINE

[ , attribute-spec ]…

!i and !o. In procedure calls, the !i not ation fo llo ws an input p ar ame ter (o ne tha t passes data

to the called procedure); the !o notation follows an output parameter (one that returns data to the calling program). For example:

CALL CHECKRESIZESEGMENT ( segment-id !i , error ) ; !o

!i,o. In procedure calls, the !i,o notation follows an input/output parameter (one that both

passes data to the called procedure and returns data to the calling program). For example:

error := COMPRESSEDIT ( filenum ) ; !i,o

!i:i. In procedure calls, the !i:i notation follows an input string parameter that has a

corresponding parameter specifying the length of the string in bytes. For example:

error := FILENAME_COMPARE_ ( filename1:length !i:i , filename2:length ) ; !i:i

!o:i. In procedure calls, the !o:i notation follows an output buffer parameter that has a

corresponding input parameter specifying the maximum length of the output buffer in bytes. For example:

error := FILE_GETINFO_ ( filenum !i , [ filename:maxlen ] ) ; !o:i

Notation for Messages

This list summarizes the notation conventions for the presentation of displayed messages in this manual.

Bold Text. Bold text in an example indicates user input typed at the terminal. For example:

ENTER RUN CODE

?123

CODE RECEIVED: 123.00

The user must press the Return key after typing the input.

Nonitalic text. Nonitalic letters, numbers, and punctuation indicate text that is displayed or

returned exactly as shown. For example:

Backup Up.

Notation for Management Programming Interfaces

lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items whose values are

displayed or returned. For example:

p-register

process-name

[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose items that are sometimes, but not always, displayed. For

example:

Event number = number [ Subject = first-subject-value ]

A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list of all possible items that can be displayed, of which one or none might actually be displayed. The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by vertical lines. For example:

proc-name trapped [ in SQL | in SQL file system ]

{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list of all possible items that can be

displayed, of which one is actually displayed. The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated by vertical lines. For example:

obj-type obj-name state changed to state, caused by { Object | Operator | Service }

process-name State changed from old-objstate to objstate { Operator Request. } { Unknown. }

| Vertical Line. A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in

brackets or braces. For example:

Transfer status: { OK | Failed }

% Percent Sign. A percent sign precedes a number that is not in decimal notation. The

% notation precedes an octal number. The %B notation precedes a binary number. The %H notation precedes a hexadecimal number. For example:

%005400

%B101111

%H2F

P=%p-register E=%e-register

Change Bar Notation

UPPERCASE LETTERS. Uppercase letters indicat e names from definition fil es. Type 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 version. 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.
