This section describes the syntax and style conventions used in this book.
Throughout this book, all references to Adaptive Server™ Enterprise also
apply to its predecessor, SQL Server®. Also,
Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) and Adaptive Server (AS) are used interchangeably.
The Client Option uses eight-character function names, while other versions of Client-Library™ use longer names. This book uses the long version of Client-Library names with one exception: the eight-character version is used in syntax statements. For example, CTBCMDPROPS has eleven letters. In the syntax statement, it is written CTBCMDPR, using eight characters. You can use either version in your code.
Table 1 explains syntax conventions used in this book.
