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:
  • MAIL
  • 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.
