Statement terminator

The semicolon ( ; ) is optional statement terminator in Genero BDL.

Genero BDL is a language that does not require a statement terminator like in C/C++ or Java.

However, you can use the semicolon ( ; ) as a statement terminator in some cases.

For example:

MAIN
  DISPLAY "Hello, World"  DISPLAY "Hello, World"
  DISPLAY "Hello, World"; DISPLAY "Hello, World"
END MAIN

The semicolon statement terminator is sometimes mandatory, when nesting instruction blocks like in the following example:

INPUT BY NAME ...
    ON ACTION other_input
       INPUT BY NAME ... ;
END INPUT
