This option specifies up to seven symbols, any one of which is interpreted as the logical OR sign (|). These symbols are also used as the concatenation symbol (when paired).
.------. V | >>-OR--(--'----char-+--'--)------------------------------------><
If you are invoking the compiler and specifying a vertical bar (|) on the command line as part of the OR option, you must precede the vertical bar with a caret (^).
DEFAULT: OR ('|')
The PL/I default code point for the OR symbol (|) is hexadecimal 7C.
Examples:
or('\}')
or('|\}')
If you are invoking the compiler and specifying any compile-time options that use vertical bars (|) or a caret (^) on the command line, use double quotes around the character.
