GROUP Clause

The GROUP clause simplifies the task of describing operands that are in some way dependent on the specification of other operands. We provide four formats for the GROUP clause so you can easily describe related operand groups.

Optional Operands (Format 1)

Describes a group of optional operands you can enter in any order.

Keyword Operand (Format 2)

Describes a group of keyword operands you must enter in a predefined order.

Required Operands (Format 3)

Describes a group of operands you can enter in any order, but you must enter at least one operand in the group.

End GROUP (Format 4)

Signals the end of a GROUP clause.

Examples of using each format of the GROUP clause follow.
