Commands and Reports
Issue 1 December 1997
11-7
To reenter the command mode from the prompt mode, answer the current prompt,
then continue entering input on the same line after typing a comma (,). When the
input is completed, terminating the command with a semicolon (;) will return the
session to the command mode. If a command is terminated with a semicolon (;),
the system will use default values for all optional parameters for which a value has
not been given.
The help command provides in-context help during a dialog with DDM-2000.
Help is provided automatically when an invalid input is entered and can also be
requested anytime by typing a question mark (?).
Special Control Characters 11
The following characters have special meaning when used with DDM-2000:
— Backspace characters control H (^H), key is used to
erase character input.
— At sign (@) is used to erase an entire line of input.
— Question mark (?) is used to get help and to enter prompt mode at any
time.
— Comma (,) is used to separate parameters from each other.
— Equal sign (=) is used to separate parameter names from parameter
values.
— Control T (^T) is the toggle command. See the toggle command page
for additional details.
— Carriage return ( or key) or exclamation point (!)
are used to end a line of input.
— Semicolon (;) is used to end a command. The system will use default
values for all optional parameters for which a value has not been given.
— CANcel, DELete, and CTRL-x are used to abort a command which has
been entered but has not yet started to execute. All commands can be
aborted anytime before the “In Progress...” message is printed. Test
commands (except test-sysctl) can be aborted at any time during
execution using these keys. Reports may be aborted at any time using
these keys.
— Colon (:) is used to separate the command name, address, and
parameters.

Reports are paged. When the end of the page has been reached, the prompt
“more? [yes]=” is displayed if more report text remains. Page length can be set
