Appendix

The statements issued to SM2 by nonprivileged users comprise the statement names and,
in some statements, additional operands. The statement names and operands must be
separated by at least one blank. Depending on the statement concerned, either positional
or keyword operands can be used. Keyword operands can be entered in any order. If a
statement only contains keyword operands, the comma shown in front of the first operand
in the syntax is omitted. In the statement descriptions, certain metacharacters are used.
These are described in the table below:
