Command Format
A command consists of a command code of up to three fields
separated by hyphens, followed by parameter blocks separated by
colons. Figure 36 shows the command format. Parameter blocks
consist of one or more parameters separated by commas.
Parameter blocks may be null (contain no parameters), or contain
one or more parameters. Two colons occur next to each other if a
parameter block is null.
Multiple parameters in a parameter block are separated by
commas. Two commas occur next to each other if a parameter is
null.
Entering a semicolon at the end of the command indicates that the
command statement is completed to the interpreter, and executes
the command.
