Entering Commands
The complete syntax of all RDFCOM commands appears in Chapter 8 (page 175). Some general
rules that apply to all RDFCOM commands appear in the following list:
• You can enter commands in either uppercase or lowercase letters or any combination of these.
• RDFCOM reads command lines up to 132 characters (bytes) long; if the maximum line length
of your input device is less than 132 characters, and your command input exceeds the device’s
limit, the input will wrap around to the next line but will terminate when 132 characters have
been read. RDFCOM does not support additional entry lines or special command continuation
characters.
• RDFCOM supports a comments character (vertical bar - |) within command entry lines or
within OBEY command files.
For more information on using the comment character, see the Sample Configuration script
in “Sample Configuration File” (page 351).
