How to define long field names

["Joe Teff" <jteff19@xxxxxxx>]

3.4.1.2 Definition Specification Continued Name Line
| A name that is up to 15 characters long can be specified in the Name entry
| of the definition specification without requiring continuation. Any name
| (even one with 15 characters or fewer) can be continued on multiple lines
| by coding an ellipsis (...) at the end of the partial name. A name
| definition consists of the following parts:


  1..
  | Zero or more continued name lines. Continued name lines are identified
  | as having an ellipsis as the last non-blank character in the entry.
  | The name must begin within positions 7 to 21 and may end anywhere up
  | to position 77 (with an ellipsis ending in position 80). There cannot
  | be blanks between the start of the name and the ellipsis character. If
  | any of these conditions is not true, the line is parsed as a main
  | definition line.

  2..
  | One main definition line, containing a name, definition attributes,
  | and keywords. If a continued name line is coded, the Name entry of the
  | main definition line may be left blank.

  3..
  | Zero or more keyword continuation lines.


The above was copied from the RPG/ILE Reference manual. I don't understand
the reference to an ellipse. How can an ellipse be keyed?
