DIMENSION a(d) [,a(d)] …

that the user-deﬁned entity a(d) is required, and that one or more of a(d) can

be optionally speciﬁed. Note that the pair of parentheses ( ) enclosing d is

required.

{STATIC | AUTOMATIC} v [,v] …

indicates that either the STATIC or AUTOMATIC keyword must be written

as shown, that the user-deﬁned entity v is required, and that one or more of

v items can be optionally speciﬁed.
