5-3
Question Mark (?)
character-string
is the first few characters of the command line to be re-executed. The most recent
command line whose first characters match the string are re-executed.
Considerations
•
If you use an exclamation point (!) alone, the previous command is re-executed. The
exclamation point (!) alone is the same as ! -1.
•
If you specify a negative number and the associated command line is no longer in
the history buffer, you get an error message. (The history buffer of command lines is
1024 bytes in length.)
•
The exclamation point (!) command does not increment the command-line number
in the EMS Analyzer prompt. The display of command line numbers in the prompt
is controlled by the SETPROMPT
command.
•
The exclamation point (!) command can be issued only by an interactive user.
•
The exclamation point (!) command cannot be followed by another command on the
same line.
