Genero Business Development Language (BDL) is free-form, like C or Pascal, and generally ignores TAB characters, LINEFEED characters, comments, and extra blank spaces between statements or statement elements. You can freely use these whitespace characters to enhance the readability of your source code.
Blank (ASCII 32) characters act as delimiters in some contexts. Blank spaces must separate successive keywords or identifiers, but cannot appear within a keyword or identifier. Pairs of double ( " ) or single ( ' ) quotation marks must delimit any character string that contains a blank (ASCII 32) or other whitespace character, such as LINEFEED or RETURN.
