Throwaway Connectives

A number of words and symbols used in a natural English language sentence can also be used in an English sentence. These words are ignored by the processor but can make the English sentence easier to read or understand.

Connectives ignored by the system include the following:

!

A

AN

ANY

ARE

DATA

FILE

FOR

TCL-SUPP  

IN

ITEMS

OF

OR

PAGE

PG

THE

{

}

Because the throwaway connectives do not add meaning, this section does not display them in command syntaxes.

In the following example, the words THE, FILE, and ITEMS are ignored and the resulting report lists information about all rooms that are either a penthouse (P) or a suite (ST).

:LIST THE ROOMS FILE WITH ROOM-CODE ITEMS "ST" "P"
