Converting CMI Comment Text in Command Files
CMI and SCF handle comments in command files in different ways. CMI uses the
exclamation point character (!), to delimit a comment. SCF also provides a !
command, but it has a different purpose; SCF ignores the ! command when found in a
command file. You must convert CMI comments to SCF comments in either of two
ways:
•
Use the COMMENT command (described on page 5-42). The characters
COMMENT must appear as the first characters of the command line, for example:
COMMENT This is an example of comment text within an EDIT
COMMENT file using the COMMENT command.
•
Use the == (two equal signs) symbols (described on page 4-11). The double equal
sign can be used within, as well as at the beginning of, a command line, for
example:
== This is an example of comment text within an EDIT file
== using the double equal sign to indicate comment text.
INFO PROCESS $ZNET == Comment text within a command line.
COUP-to-SCF Conversion Guide
For G-series RVUs, you must convert any Configuration Utility Program (COUP)
commands of the Dynamic System Configuration (DSC) program to SCF commands.
This subsection explains how D-series COUP commands correspond to G-series SCF
commands.

* This SCF command can be used to achieve a function similar to, but not the same as, that of the CMI
command.
