Obey File Syntax Conventions

The following conventions apply to all obey file statements:

  • A line that is a comment can be identified using the rem keyword.

  • Blank lines are ignored.

  • The = symbol, where used, is optional; a blank character can be used instead.

  • A file name can, optionally, be enclosed within quotes; a file name that contains spaces must be enclosed within quotes.

  • The stop statement causes the rest of the obey file to be ignored.

All commands and options should be entered as explicitly stated. For more information on the usual syntax conventions, see the BNF grammar section in Symbian OS Library >> About the Symbian Developer Library >> Documentation conventions.
