Truncation Rule
The truncation rule is used to produce the short form (abbreviated
spelling) for the mnemonics used in the programming headers and
parameter arguments.
This document's command descriptions shows how the truncation rule is
applied to commands.
NOTE
Command Truncation Rule
The mnemonic is the first four characters of the keyword, unless the fourth character is a
vowel. Then the mnemonic is the first three characters of the keyword. If the length of the
keyword is four characters or less, this rule does not apply, and the short form is the same
as the long form.
