Syntax rules for IXGCNFxx

The following syntax rules apply to IXGCNFxx:

1. Use columns 1 through 71. Do not use columns 72 - 80 for data; these columns are ignored.
2. Comments may appear in columns 1-71 and must begin with "/*" and end with "*/". A comment can span lines and can appear anywhere except within a keyword or a specified value.
3. Blank lines are allowed anywhere in the member.
4. You can use both uppercase and lowercase letters; the system translates lowercase letters to uppercase letters before processing.
5. 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.
6. Use valid delimiters to separate keyword parameters. A valid delimiter is a blank. The system treats multiple blanks as one.
7. Blanks can appear between keyword parameters, between values, and between statements. Blanks cannot appear within a keyword value.
8. Delimiters are required between keywords.
9. If the system finds a syntax error in IXGCNFxx, the system issues an error message, and then attempts to continue processing the next keywords, statements, and parmlib members, for syntax only. No updates take place on error.
