5-6 ES45 Owner's Guide
Table 5–2 Notation Formats for SRM Console Commands
Attribute Conditions
Length
Up to 255 characters, not including the terminating carriage
return or any characters deleted as the command is entered.
To enter a command longer than 80 characters, use the back-
slash character for line continuation (see Table 5–3).
Case
Upper- or lowercase characters can be used for input. Charac-
ters 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 key-
word unambiguously. Abbreviation of environment variables is
allowed with the show command.
Options
You can use command options, to modify the environment, af-
ter 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 charac-
ters
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. Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.
