- &--Start of a rule variable name
- +--End of a rule variable name
- <--Left evaluation bracket
- >--Right evaluation bracket
Syntax:
/CHARacterS,[(LINE|Rule|VARiable|VariableTERM|
... LeftEVAL|RightEVAL|EVALs)]
Parameters:
| LINE |
The rule line start character (default is %) signals a statement line
which contains a command to the Generator.
|
| Rule |
The rule start character (default is $) signals the beginning of a
rule name. A rule is a package of statements.
|
| VARiable |
The variable name start character (default is &) signals the
beginning of a generator variable name. Variables are assigned values that are
substituted where the variable name appears.
|
| VariableTERM |
The variable name termination character (default is +) signals the
end of a generator variable name. The termination character is useful where a
variable name is followed by characters that could be part of a variable name.
|
| LeftEVAL |
The left evaluation bracket (default is <) signals the left
boundary of a statement fragment whose content is determined at execution.
|
| RightEVAL |
The right evaluation bracket (default is >) signals the left
boundary of the statement fragment whose content is determined at execution.
|
| EVALs |

characters to serve as the left and right evaluation brackets (default is <
