Use of Parentheses

When you use parentheses, the same operations shown above can be specified in a single instruction:

COMPUTE PROC CHG(.2) = (CPU TIME * .016) + (ACTIVE TIME * .008)

CA JARS Wizard permits two levels of parentheses in a COMPUTE instruction; that is, it is valid to have one parenthetical operation within another parenthetical operation.
