Notational conventions

Because of the frequency with which the server names are used, the following abbreviations are used to make things simpler and more straightforward:

• BS2000 servers for the servers with /390 architecture and the servers with x86 architecture. These servers are operated with the corresponding BS2000 operating system.

• Servers with /390 architecture (/390 servers for short) for the Server Unit /390 of the FUJITSU Servers of the BS2000 SE Series and the Business Servers of the S Series

• Servers with x86 architecture (x86 servers for short) for the Server Unit x86 of the FUJITSU Servers of the BS2000 SE Series and the Business Servers of the SQ Series (x86-64 architecture)

The strings <date>, <time> and <ver> in examples indicate, for instance, the current displays for date, time and version when the examples are otherwise independent of date, time and version.

Different sets of notational conventions are used in this manual:

• SDF notational conventions for describing the syntax of commands and statements in SDF format.
  You will find descriptions of the SDF syntax in the “Commands” manual.

• conventions for emphasizing parts of the main text of the manual, and conventions for describing the syntax of commands and statements that are not in SDF format, both of which are referred to here as non-SDF notational conventions

Non-SDF notational conventions are the following:

UPPERCASE	Keywords
underscored	Default values
bold	Used for emphasis in running text; Text to be entered in examples
italics	Variables in syntax definitions and running text
Fixed-space font	Program text in examples; Text to be entered in examples of statement sequences
[ ]	Optional specifications in syntax definitions. The brackets are metacharacters and must not be entered in the statement.
{ | | }	Alternative specifications in syntax definitions. The available operands are separated by a horizontal bar.
( )	Mandatory specifications in syntax definitions. Parentheses enclose the operand and form part of it. They must be entered in the statement.
variable : : =	Introduces a definition of the variables occurring in the preceding syntax definition.
... or . .	In syntax definitions, an ellipsis means that you can repeat the preceding specification any number of times. In examples, the ellipsis means that the rest of the statement is of no significance to the example. The ellipsis is a metacharacter and must not be entered in a statement.
	Indicates notes that are of particular importance.
	Indicates warnings.
