/PUNCTUATION_CHARACTERS=string /PUNCTUATION_CHARACTERS=",;()" (D) Specifies the characters that are considered punctuation marks, or delimiters, in the language. When a placeholder name and its enclosing brackets are deleted, preceding white space is also deleted if there are punctuation characters to delimit the program constructs. If you do not specify a value for the /PUNCTUATION_ CHARACTERS qualifier, then the value is reset to the default ",;()". If you omit the /PUNCTUATION_CHARACTERS qualifier, the current value remains in effect.
