Abbreviating keyword operands
You can enter keywords spelled exactly as they are shown or you
can use an acceptable abbreviation. You can abbreviate any keyword
by entering only the significant characters; that is, you must type
as much of the keyword as is necessary to distinguish it from the
other keywords of the command or subcommand. For example, the LISTBC
command has four keywords:
- NOMAIL
- NOTICES
- NONOTICES
The abbreviations are:
- M
- for MAIL (also MA and MAI)
- NOM
- for NOMAIL (also NOMA and NOMAI)
- NOT
- for NOTICES (also NOTI, NOTIC, and NOTICE)
- NON
- for NONOTICES (also NONO, NONOT, NONOTI, NONOTIC, and NONOTICE)
Also, the DELETE and LISTCAT commands allow unique abbreviations for some of their keywords. The abbreviations are shown with the syntax and operand descriptions of DELETE and LISTCAT.
