Keyword operands

Keyword operands (keywords) are specific names or symbols that have a particular meaning to the system. You can include keywords in any order following the positional operands. In the command descriptions within this book, keywords are shown in uppercase characters.

You can specify values with some keywords. Enclose the value with parentheses following the keyword. For example, a typical keyword operand with a value is: 
LINESIZE(integer)
Continuing this example, you need to select the number of characters that you want to appear in a line and substitute that number for integer when you enter the operand: 
LINESIZE(80)

However, if you enter conflicting, mutually exclusive keywords, the last keyword you enter overrides the previous ones.
