The item description does not have to be specified. Depending on the complexity of the menu, either the item description or keyword description can be an empty string. If an empty keyword description is desired, the KEYWORD statement must be specified. Remember, if the KEYWORD statement is not specified, an automatic numeric keyword will be supplied. |
