Comments
Comments are statements you include in the source file to describe certain XDL commands
and their functions. These comments can act as reminders if you, or someone else modifies
the JSL at a later time.
Comments may appear anywhere within the JSL. They must be preceded by the character
sequence slash and asterisk (/*), and terminated by the character sequence asterisk and
slash (*/).
/*my comment*/
Syntax rules
When entering your JSL records on the system controller keyboard, make sure to follow
these rules:
•
Use commas or blanks to separate the options of a command.
•
Use parentheses to enclose multiple right parts.
Note: Only single pairs are supported with the following exceptions: DJDE ASSIGN and
•
List parameter options in the sequence shown in this manual. To specify a particular
option but not the options preceeding it, use commas or blanks as "place holders" for
the options you do not specify. For example, the OUTPUT command BFORM parame-
ter has three options:
BFORM=(form-id,[init][,copies])
•
To specify the form name (form-id) and number of copies, but not the initial copy (init)
on which the backside form (BFORM) is printed, enter:
BFORM=(SMLFRM,,2)
•
The second comma (,) after SMLFRM tells the system that "2" specifies the number of
copies on which the form is printed.
•
Use blanks anywhere in the JSL except in keywords and constants.
