      <p class="para_division">Brackets [ ] indicate that a choice of describers is optional.  If the describers are stacked vertically, then only one may be specified. </p>
      <p class="para_division">Describers that are shaded indicate the defaults. </p>
      <p class="para_division">If the command line is longer than 72 columns, then it may be continued to the next line with a comma.  For example: </p><pre class="indent">SET 1=5, 6, 7, 8, 9,

      <div class="title_division">Describers</div>
      <p class="para_division">Each of the describers is briefly discussed.  The describer&rsquo;s type (e.g., Integer, Real, or Character), allowable range, and default value are enclosed in parentheses.  The describer must be specified by the user if no default value is given. </p>
      <div class="title_division">Remarks </div>
      <p class="para_division">The Remarks are generally arranged in order of importance and indicate such things as which Bulk Data entries are selected by the Case Control command; the command&rsquo;s relationship to other commands, restrictions and recommendations on its use; and further descriptions of the describers. </p>
