SRM Console 2-5
2.2.2 Commands: Syntax
Table 2–2 Syntax for SRM Console Commands
Parameter Attribute or Action
Length
Up to 255 characters, not including the terminating
carriage return or any characters deleted as the
command is entered. A command longer than 80
characters and without the backslash character (see
Table 2–3) causes display of an error message.
Case
Upper- or lowercase characters can be used for input.
Characters are displayed in the case in which they are
entered.
Abbreviation
Only by dropping characters from the end of words. You
must enter the minimum number of characters to
identify the keyword unambiguously. Abbreviation of
environment variables is allowed with the show
command.
Options
You can use command options, to modify the
environment, after the command keyword or after any
symbol or number in the command. See individual
command descriptions for examples.
Numbers
Most numbers in console commands are in decimal
notation. Two exceptions, both of which use hexadecimal
notation, are addresses and numbers used in the deposit
command. The default radix can be overridden by
inserting %d before numbers you want to express in
decimal, %b before binary, %o before octal, or %x before
hexadecimal. Register names (for example, R0) are not
considered numbers and use decimal notation.
No
characters
A command line with no characters is a null command.
The console program takes no action and does not issue
an error message; it returns the console prompt. The
console supports command line recall and editing.
Spaces or
tabs
Multiple adjacent spaces and tabs are compressed and
treated as a single space. The console program ignores
leading and trailing spaces.
