Delimiters
When you type a command, you must separate the command name from
the first operand by one or more blanks. You must separate operands
by one or more blanks or a comma. Do not use a semicolon as a delimiter
because any character you enter after a semicolon is ignored. For
example, if you use a blank or a comma as a delimiter, you can type
the LISTBC command as follows:
LISTBC NOMAIL NONOTICES
LISTBC NOMAIL,NONOTICES
LISTBC NOMAIL NONOTICESWhen creating (or updating) a CLIST, do not use any of the following
as a delimiter:
- The special characters @, $, or #
- A single quotation mark
- A number
- A blank
- A tab
- A comma
- A semicolon
- A parenthesis
- An asterisk
Note: When entering commands under ISPF or Program Control Facility
(PCF), do not use the ISPF or PCF command delimiter character that
your installation has set for these facilities. The default delimiter
character for each ISPF and PCF command is the semicolon (;), but
your installation can specify a different delimiter character.
