The following syntax rules apply to IFAPRDxx:
- Use columns 1-71. Do not use columns 72-80; the system ignores
them.
- Blank lines are allowed anywhere in the member.
- Comments can appear in columns 1-71 and must begin with "/*" and
end with "*/". You can continue a comment; it does not need to end
on the line on which it begins.
- You can use both uppercase and lowercase letters; the system
translates lowercase letters to uppercase letters before processing.
- The system recognizes the end of a statement when it encounters
either the beginning of the next valid statement or an end-of-file
(EOF) indicator.
- Use valid delimiters to separate keyword parameters. A valid
delimiter is a comma, a blank, or column 71. The system treats multiple
blanks as one. Column 71, when within a string enclosed in quotation
marks, is not a valid delimiter.
- Blanks can appear between keyword parameters, between values,
and between statements. Blanks cannot appear within a keyword value
unless the value is enclosed in single quotation marks.
