To issue an SQL statement, prefix that statement with the LSQL command. You do not need to prefix sub‑queries within a statement with the LSQL command.
Syntax is diagrammed along the line from left to right. If the entire syntax cannot fit on one line, it splits and continues below the first line. A right arrow at the end of the line indicates that the diagram is continued on the next line.
The required parameters fall on the line. The optional parameters fall below the line. Required and optional parameters are listed vertically in groups.
A repeating arrow indicates parameters that can be repeated.
Variables are printed in italics. When there is a choice of variables, a bar separates them.
