Common Parameter Values
Parameter values might be names (strings) or numbers. To use spaces as part of a name
parameter, enclose the name value in double quotes. For example, the expression “System Name
with Spaces” forces the system to accept the spaces. Empty strings (““) are not valid
user-defined strings. Table 2 describes common parameter values and value formatting.
