To maximize legibility, it is best not to abbreviate command keywords in a command procedure. Do not abbreviate command keywords to less than four significant characters (not counting the negation /NO . . . ), to avoid potential conflicts in future releases. Start a debugger command line at the left margin. (Do not start a command line with a dollar sign ($) as you do when writing a DCL command procedure). The beginning of a new line ends the previous command line (the end-of-file character also ends the previous command line). To continue a command string on another line, type a hyphen (-) before starting the new line. You can enter more than one command string on one line by separating command strings with semicolons (;). To enter a comment (explanatory text that does not affect the execution of the command procedure), precede the comment text with an exclamation point (!). If the comment wraps to another line, start that line with an exclamation point.
