Type
styles have special meanings in the documentation of the FedSQL syntax.
The following list explains the style conventions for the syntax:
UPPERCASE BOLD
identifies SAS keywords
such as the names of statements and functions (for example, CREATE
TABLE).
UPPERCASE ROMAN
identifies arguments
and values that are literals (for example, FROM).
italic
identifies arguments
or values that you supply. Items in italics can represent user-supplied
values that are either one of the following.
-
nonliteral values that are assigned
to an argument (for example, END=
variable).
-
nonliteral arguments (for example,
AS
alias).
If more than one of
an item in italics can be used, the items are expressed as
item [,
…
item].
monospace
identifies examples
of SAS code.
