Uppercase letters in a command designate parameter values which must be
entered as shown. Lowercase letters in a command are the parameter name, and
the specific values that must be entered for the parameter. The Parameters section
of this chapter describes the parameters and the values where a value is the same
for all parameters. Parameter values for a particular command are listed with the
command. The system accepts either uppercase, lowercase, or a mixture of both,
but upper and lower case cannot be mixed within a parameter block.
The following symbols are used in the input and response messages:
[ ] encloses an optional parameter
{ } encloses a group of parameters, at least one of which must be entered
| separates alternatives in a group of parameters, at least one of which must
be entered
^ indicates a space (used in the description of the response format, but not
used in the command responses)
_ separates command code fields
: separates parameter blocks
, separates parameters within a block
; terminates a command, and causes execution
" " encloses text to be parsed by a machine
/* */ encloses comments for humans encloses a TL1 named variable
\" "\ encloses a description of a condition
... indicates the previous line in a response may be repeated as required
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 4-1 shows the
command format. Parameter blocks consist of one or more parameters separated
by commas.
