Figure 2-4: Example Of Omitting Root And Lower-Level Nodes In A Chained - Sony 3026 Programmer's Manual

General Rules
3026 Programmer Manual
If a command or query has the same root and lower-level nodes as the previous
command or query, you can omit these nodes. In Figure 2-4, the second
command has the same root node (DISP:MARK) as the first command, so these
nodes can be omitted.
