RDF System Management Manual for H-Series RVUs (RDF 1.8)

Entering Commands
The complete syntax of all RDFCOM commands appears in Chapter 8 (page 173). 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.
Requesting Online Help
Through the RDFCOM HELP command, you can display brief descriptions of:
• RDFCOM command syntax (including syntax for the HELP command itself)
• Numbered RDF messages (such as 700, 705, and so forth)
The HELP texts are intended as reminders, not as substitutes for this manual.
