END; END;
• Multiple part options: Use parentheses to enclose multiple
parts of a parameter option.
Example:
CRITERIA CONSTANT=(0,120,EQ,T1);
• Order of right part components: If you want to specify
more than one component of a parameter right part, enter the
components in the order they are shown in the command
description and separated by commas.
Example: The MESSAGE OTEXT parameter has two
alternative options, one of which has four components
enclosed in parentheses. (The square brackets indicate that
a component is optional. The braces indicate that the
command contains alternative options, only one of which may
be used. Alternatives are separated by the “|” separator
character.)
OTEXT={(sc [,{passnum|END}][,WAIT])|NONE}
• Placeholders: To specify a particular component but not the
optional components preceding it, do not enter more than
one comma as a “place holders” for the component you do
not specify. The component must be optional as indicated by
square brackets in the syntax definition for the parameter.
When the comma preceding the optional component appears
inside the square brackets, then it is provided only if the
component is provided.
Example: If you want to specify an operator message
(OTEXT) and the WAIT parameter, but wish to use the
default value for
passnum , enter:
OTEXT=(‘load blue paper’, WAIT);
The passnum component is not supplied in the example, and
its default value is used instead.
• Singular or plural: You may use either the singular or plural
form of the FONT, FORM, and GRAPHIC parameters. (The S
in FONTS, FORMS, and GRAPHICS is optional.)
• Separation of parameters: Use commas and blanks to
separate parameters within a command.
Example:
BANNER TEST=C1, HCOUNT=1, TCOUNT=2;
