Command Format
A command consists of a command code of up to three fields separated by
hyphens, followed by parameter blocks separated by colons. Figure 2-1 shows the
command format. Parameter blocks consist of one or more parameters separated
by commas.
Parameter blocks can be null (contain no parameters), or contain one or more
parameters. Two colons occur next to each other if a parameter block is null.
Multiple parameters in a parameter block are separated by commas. Two commas
occur next to each other if a parameter is null.
Empty blocks at the end of a command line can be omitted.
Entering a semicolon at the end of the command indicates to the interpreter that the
command statement is complete and the command is executed.
