SYNTAX Command
SYNTAX Command
SYNTAX enables and disables syntax-only mode. In syntax-only mode, SAFECOM
only checks the syntax of commands. It does not execute the commands. You can
execute only four SAFECOM commands in syntax-only mode: SYNTAX, ASSUME,
OBEY, and EXIT.
SYNTAX [ ONLY ]
specifies that SAFECOM syntax-only mode is enabled or disabled. The keyword
ONLY is optional and can be included for readability.
ON
specifies that syntax-only mode is enabled.
OFF
specifies that syntax-only mode is disabled.
Consideration
After each command is checked for syntactical correctness, SAFECOM issues a
message.
For each command that is syntactically correct:
* WARNING * SAFECOM IS IN SYNTAX ONLY MODE; COMMAND NOT
EXECUTED.
For each command that contains a syntax error:
ILLEGAL SYNTAX
Example
To enable syntax-only mode:
=SYNTAX ON
SYSTEM Command
SYSTEM establishes a default system name. SAFECOM uses the default system
name to expand partially qualified file names that do not include a system name.
When you first run SAFECOM, the name of your local system is used as the initial
default system name.
SYNTAX [ ONLY ] { ON | OFF }
SYSTEM [ \system-name ]
