Syntax

Location: Code the accounting information parameter first in the parameter field. Omission: If you omit the accounting information parameter but you are coding a programmer’s name parameter, code a comma to indicate the omitted parameter. If you omit both positional parameters, do not code any commas before the first keyword parameter. Length:
The entire accounting information parameter must not exceed 143 characters:
Multiple subparameters: When the accounting information parameter consists of more than one subparameter, separate the subparameters by commas and enclose the parameter in parentheses or apostrophes. For example, (5438,GROUP6) or '5438,GROUP6'. If you use apostrophes, all information inside the apostrophes is considered one field. Special characters: When a subparameter contains special characters, other than hyphens, enclose it in apostrophes and the entire parameter in parentheses or enclose all of the parameter in apostrophes. For example, (12A75,'DEPT/D58',706) or '12A75,DEPT/D58,706'. Code each apostrophe or ampersand that is part of the accounting information as two consecutive apostrophes or ampersands. For example, code DEPT'D58 as (12A75,'DEPT''D58',706) or '12A75,DEPT''D58,706'. Code 34&251 as '34&&251'. Continuation onto another statement: Enclose the
accounting information parameter in parentheses. End each statement
with a comma after a complete subparameter. For example:
