Typographical Conventions

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.
