Specifying JES2 initialization statements and commands involves using numeric values, alphabetic values, upper or lower case characters and blanks.

• You must code as written upper-case operands as they appear in the syntax diagrams. Also, punctuation such as commas, parentheses, and single quotation marks are not metasymbols; if present in the syntax diagrams they must be coded. Parameters shown in lower case are not to be coded as written; they denote variables that are explained in the description of the particular parameter for the initialization statement or command.
• You must code numbers and upper-case letters exactly as shown.
• You must substitute specific information or specific values for lower-case letters, which represent variables.
• You can use blanks anywhere within an initialization statement or command, or you need not use any blanks.
• Table 1 defines the character specifications as they appear in the syntax diagrams.
