C. Approved abbreviations
for reserved words
Abbreviations can be helpful in reducing the number of
characters or lines you need to describe a function or command.
However, while abbreviations are helpful, they can create
problems if you do not use them properly. If you use
abbreviated reserved words, make sure they are identical to
those in the approved list.
The following list contains approved abbreviations for reserved
words. The approved abbreviation is shown in capital letters or
in parentheses beside the word. If an abbreviation is not shown,
you cannot abbreviate the reserved word.
