In this document, VTAM® messages
are described with the following syntax notation:
- UPPERCASE CHARACTERS
- Represent the actual text of the message.
- italic characters
- Represent message variables. The variables are replaced by their
values in the actual message.
- Braces { }
- Represent a group of text strings, only one of which is displayed
in the actual message. The text strings are separated by or-signs
(|) in the braces.
The braces and or-signs are not displayed in
the actual message.
- Brackets [ ]
- Represent optional messages or optional parts of a message. Optional
messages or optional parts of a message are displayed only under certain
circumstances which are described in the "Explanation" section of
the message. If an optional part has more than one possible value,
or-signs separate the possibilities.
The brackets and or-signs
are not displayed in the actual message.
