Re: separate multiple commands on one line

Hi Mark

Good question. Discussed years ago:

"Part of NCL's syntax is that a "statement" in NCL has no specific
terminating character, like C's and Perl's ";" character. NCL's parser
looks for an end-of-line character (a carriage return/newline combination)
as it's statement (and line) termination. Without this termination
character for a statement, NCL's parser deduces that the statement in
question is incomplete, and emits the error you're seeing.

The short answer: each NCL statement requires a newline to properly
terminate it, in a syntactical sense."
