The EDIT-file section beginning with =VOCAB contains a NetBatch vocabulary. For
example:
=VOCAB
ABORTED T^001 .

Editing Keywords, Days, Months, Times, and the Vocabulary
You can edit the names associated with various tokens in the EDIT file and include
aliases for keywords. These considerations apply:
•
A name must have a unique token number T^ number; for example, T^010.
•
An alias can reference an existing token by appending A^128 to the alias; for
example, ADD T^22 SUBMIT T^22 A^128 == Alias for ADD.
•
In a section, a name must be unique and consist of US ASCII characters in the
ranges 64 through 93 and 96 through 125 (that is, from @ to ] inclusive and from `
to } inclusive).
•
A name is terminated by any character outside the ranges specified in the
preceding paragraph.
•
Preferably, choose names that require the minimum number of characters to
establish uniqueness. The name-recognition procedure requires at least the first
character of a name and every hyphen character contained in the name. All other
characters can be omitted when the name entered matches only one name in the
section. Regardless of ambiguity, if an exact match is found, the name is valid. For
example, O T^45 OBEY T^45 A^128 ON T^100 OFF T^101. (O is an inadequate
abbreviation of OBEY, ON, and OFF, but because it is itself included as a keyword,
it is accepted).
•
Names must begin in the first column of the EDIT file.
•
You can enter names in any order in a section. BATCHUTL sorts them
alphabetically at Step 5.
•
At least one space must separate the token number from the name and the alias
flag from the token number.
•
You can specify a single special character instead of a name. A special character
is any printable character that is not a character in the range A through Z or 0
through 9.
•
Names surrounded by angle brackets (for example, <AT-AFTER-TIME>) represent
nonkeyword terminal symbols defined in a particular grammar. The names are for
HP internal use only. You can leave them in the file or delete them.
