The
Command
Options
CMS command options are keywords used
to
control the
execution of the command. The
CMS command formats in
"CMS Commands" show all the options for each CMS
command.
The option list must be preceded by a left parenthesis; the
closing parenthesis
is
not necessary.
For
most commands, if conflicting
or
duplicate options are
entered, the last option entered
is
the option in effect for the
command. Exceptions
to
this rule are noted where
applicable.
Comments
in
CMS
Command
Lines
You can enter comments on your console by using the
CP
*
command.
You can write comments with
CMS commands
by
entering
them following the closing parenthesis
of
the option list. The
only exception
to
this rule
is
the ERASE command, for
which comments are not allowed.
Notational Conventions
The notation used to define the command syntax in this
publication
is:
Truncations and Abbreviations of Commands
Where truncation
of
a command name is permitted, the
shortest acceptable version of the command is
represented
by
uppercase letters. (Remember, however,
that
CMS commands can be entered with any
combination
of
uppercase and lowercase letters.) The
following example shows the format specification for the
FILEDEF
command.
F
Iledef
This format means that FI, FIL, FILE, FILED,
FILEDE, and
FILEDEF
are all valid specifications for
this command name.
