"Phone No." := '312-555-1212';
All statements are terminated with a semicolon. Multiple statements can be placed on a single program line, but that makes the code hard for others to read.
Fully qualified data fields are prefaced with the name of the record variable that they are a part of (see the preceding code line as an example of where the record variable is named Phone No.). The same structure applies to fully qualified procedure references; the procedure name is prefaced with the name of the object that they are defined in.
Single quotes are used to surround string literals (see the phone number string in the preceding line of code).
Double quotes are...
