General Command Parser Errors
Since the UPSUTIL user interface for entering commands is very simple, there are only a few error conditions
associated with entering commands.
First, if a command keyword is simply mis-typed (misspelled), then UPSUTIL outputs the error message:
** ERROR: This command is not known to the UPSUTIL program, command ignored.
Second, if a command keyword contains an invalid character, such as a numeric digit or special punctuation
character, then UPSUTIL outputs the error message:
** ERROR: This command name is not legal, command ignored.
Third, if a command keyword is just too long to be valid, then UPSUTIL outputs the error message:
** ERROR: This command name is too long, command ignored.
