Reading syntax diagrams

The procedure command syntax diagrams are read from left to right, top to bottom. Each command starts with ">>" and ends with "<<". If a command is continued from one line to the next, the first line ends with ">" and the next line begins with ">".

A command can have two types of parameters:

  1. Positional parameters, which must be placed in a certain position within a command.
  2. Keyword parameters, which are assigned a value and can be placed in any order within a command.

    The first keyword parameter used in a command must be preceded by a left parenthesis.

    All parameters must be 80 characters or less. All parameters are separated by commas. A right parenthesis is not required, but can be used to end the command.
