Usage Rules

To issue an SQL statement, you must 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.
Required parameters fall on the line. Optional parameters fall below the line. Required and optional parameters are listed vertically in groups.
Parameters that can be repeated are indicated by a repeating arrow.
Variables are printed in italics. When there is a choice of variables, they are separated by a bar ( | ).
