11.1.1 Usage of semicolons
All GFT symbols with the exception of the action symbol shall include only one statement in TTCN-3 core notation. Only an action symbol may include a sequence of TTCN-3 statements (see clause 11.1.2). The semicolon is optional if a GFT symbol includes only one statement in TTCN-3 core notation (see figures 14-a and 14-...

11.1.3 Comments
GFT provide three possibilities to put comments into GFT diagrams: • Comments may be put into GFT symbols following the symbol inscription and using the syntax for comments of the TTCN-3 core notation (figure 14-d). • Comments in the syntax for comments of the TTCN-3 core notation can be put into text symbols and freel...

11.2 Invoking GFT diagrams
This clause describes how the individual kinds of GFT diagrams are invoked. Since there is no statement for executing the control part in TTCN-3 (as it is comparable to executing a program via main and out of the scope of TTCN-3), the clause discusses the execution of test cases, functions, and altsteps.

11.3 Declarations
TTCN-3 allows the declaration and initialization of timers, constants and variables at the beginning of statement blocks.
