Command Recall
The up arrow key recalls the last ten parameters that have been entered. This dispenses with the need to
enter the same parameter for a series of commands.
Command Options
Command options are available for some commands. If a command has options, (OPT) appears after the
prompt for the last parameter. The slash (/) character separates the option from the command. For example:
FC/C —FILER COPY with CONFIRM option
Pressing the / key displays the option menu for the current command. Options are selected and entered in
the same way as commands. Entering an option that is already displayed removes that option. Refer to indi
-
vidual command descriptions for more information on options.
NOPAGE Option
The /NOPAGE option is available for all commands that display more than a single screen of information.
Normally, a single screen is displayed with a prompt to press any key to scroll the next pages. To display one
new line of information instead of scrolling through the whole page, press the spacebar key. Otherwise,
press any key and a new page will be displayed. Selecting the /NOPAGE option, the information continues to
scroll without waiting for a key to be pressed.
/4 option
The /4 option is used to format displays so that the information contained in them does not exceed 40 col-
umns in width. This is useful when View commands are issued from PDL2 via the SYS-CALL internal rou-
tine, in which displays are generally directed on a file or on the PC screen. This option is only available from
SYS_CALL and only for those commands that, if not issued from the programming terminal, display data be-
yond 40 columns.
Executing Commands from Programmes
The PDL2 SYS_CALL built-in routine can be used to execute commands from within a PDL2 programme.
(Refer to the PDL2 Programming Language manual).
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
This section describes each command, beginning with the top level down to each sub-command. A summary
list of commands is included at the end of the chapter.
Command items are given in their longest form, which is how they appear on the PC screen. On the PTU4
display they are shown in the abbreviated form of 4 characters per command.
