Simple operand

A simple operand is either

• an OSI select statement

• an access path, which includes a simple variable

• a conditional operation

• a block of statements, which is enclosed in '{}'

• a single operand, which is enclosed in parenthesis '()'

• a constant (numerical or character)

• a system variable

OSI select statements can be expressed more comfortable as operation path and are supported for compatibility reasons, only.
