Commands can be classified as either command only or command with parameters(s). Commands with parameters can be specified in one of the following ways:

  • positional parameters

  • keyword parameters

  • options

NOTE: The command structure established by SYSGEN enables the user to select the manner in which parameters accompany the command.

Positional parameters are assigned a position in the parameter sequence. Separate parameters by semicolons or blanks, or exclude them by using consecutive semicolons. Enclose subparameters and repeated parameters in parentheses, and separate them by commas or blanks.

A subparameter can be either strings or numeric values separated by blanks or commas. Enclose them in parentheses if more than one is present. Always specify subparameters by fixed position within the subparameter list. You can omit subparameters by entering consecutive commas.

A repeated parameter is a single parameter value that can be repeated an arbitrary number of times. Separate parameters by commas or blanks, and enclose them in parentheses () if more than one is present.
