Command Format

When entering PATHCOM commands, consider:

•

In general, options within a command are position independent. That is, you can

place the options in any order within the command-line. For example, this

command:

SET SERVER PROCESSTYPE GUARDIAN, AUTORESTART 1, PROGRAM

$MKT.PR6

could also be entered as:

SET SERVER PROGRAM $MKT.PR6, PROCESSTYPE GUARDIAN,

AUTORESTART 1

Exceptions to the independent positioning of options within a command are

documented with the individual commands.

•

The SERVER attribute keywords and values for ARGLIST, ASSIGN, DEFINE,

ENV, and PARAM must be enclosed in parentheses when multiple arguments

(values) are specified for the attribute and other attributes are included in the same

command. Parentheses are not required if the attribute is the last specified in the

command.

These examples show correct usage of parentheses. In the first command

parentheses are not required because only one attribute is defined. In the second

example, the first attribute is enclosed in parentheses because another attribute is

specified after it; the ASSIGN definition is the last in the list and does not require
