Rules and Guidelines for Subsegments

Adopt a naming convention for subsegments. Just as naming conventions aid the user in retrieval of segments, the same holds true with subsegments.

Each subsegment must have a name. Subsegment names must follow the same rules as segment names.

A segment can have one or more subsegments.

A subsegment name must be different from the segment name of which the subsegment is a part.

A subsegment must end before the end of the segment of which it is a part.

A subsegment name must not have the same name as a reserved segment name.

A subsegment must be embedded between a #subsegment-name statement and a #END,subsegment-name statement.
