Command Syntax
Command Syntax
AUTOSYNC is a conversational-mode command interpreter. Most commands can be
continued over many lines with no need for a continuation character; as a
consequence, each command must be terminated with a semi-colon (;).
A few commands, such as FC and RUN, are single-line commands and are terminated
by the end of line; such commands can be continued by placing an ampersand (&) at
the end of the line.
AUTOSYNC commands are free-format: spaces are not significant except within
character strings and numbers. In general, the case (UPPER, lower, or MiXeD) of the
command is not significant.
Guardian defines can be used to specify command parameters:

CLASS MAP defines to specify parameters that designate files or tables

CLASS CATALOG defines to specify command parameters that designate
subvolumes
Command Summary
AUTOSYNC commands are described in alphabetical order. For ease of reference,
Table 8-1, Table 8-2 list the commands in two categories: AutoSYNC commands and
general purpose commands.
In addition, certain standard NonStop server programs can be executed directly by
typing the name of the program; such programs are assumed to be present in the
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM (or SYSnn) subvolume. These programs are shown in Table 8-3;
refer to the RUN command for complete syntax.
