>>-OR--(--'----char-+--'--)------------------------------------><
 
char
A single character symbol. You must not specify any of the 26 alphabetic, 10 digit, and special characters defined in the PL/I Language Reference, except for the logical OR sign (|).

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.
