This document describes various commands that you can use to obtain
and print dumps. A uniform notation describes the syntax of these
commands. This notation is not part of the language; it is merely
a way of describing the syntax of the commands. The command syntax
definitions in this document use the following conventions:
- [ ]
- Brackets enclose an optional entry. You can, but need not, include
the entry. Examples follow:
- |
- An OR sign (a vertical bar) separates alternative entries. You
must specify one, and only one, of the entries unless you allow an
indicated default. Examples follow:
- [REREAD|LEAVE]
- [length|'S']
- { }
- Braces enclose alternative entries. You must use one, and only
one, of the entries. Examples follow:
- BFTEK={S|A}
- {K|D}
- {address|S|O}
Sometimes alternative entries are shown in a vertical stack
of braces. An example follows:
MACRF={{(R[C|P]) }
{(W[C|P|L]) }
{(R[C],W[C])}}
In
the preceding example, you must choose only one entry from the vertical
stack.
- ...
- An ellipsis indicates that the entry immediately preceding the
ellipsis can be repeated. For example:
- (Dcbaddr,[(options)],...)
- UPPERCASE BOLDFACE
- Uppercase boldface type indicates entries that you must code
exactly as shown. These entries consist of keywords and the following
punctuation symbols: commas, parentheses, and equal signs. Examples
follow:
- CLOSE , , , ,TYPE=T
- MACRF=(PL,PTC)
- UNDERSCORED UPPERCASE BOLDFACE
- Underscored uppercase boldface type indicates the default used
if you do not specify any of the alternatives. Examples follow:
- [EROPT={ACC|SKP|ABE}]
- [BFALN={F|D}]
- lowercase italic
- Lowercase italic type indicates a value that you supply, according
to the specifications and limits for the parameter. Examples follow:
