Separate multiple values in a prompt

I have come across instances where a comma needs to be used to separate values in a prompted "In List", and other instances where a semi-colon needs to be used. I'm not sure when to use what. The BO user guide pdf (P. 97) says to use a comma. The online Help for 'Entering or selecting values' says to use a semi-colon. Could someone please explain when to use which? Thanks!
 
Generally, uses semicolons when prompts are used. Use commas when you/the user are using the query panel. This is basically the rule with the data types.
