Entering a Comment Line
To complete the command string, enter the continuation command line after the
ampersand (&) prompt:
-> ADD PROCESS $ZZKRN#PTR-OPERATOR, NAME $PTROP, PROGRAM &
-> &$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SPOOLCOM, AUTORESTART 2, HOMETERM $TERM, &
-> &INFILE $TERM, OUTFILE $TERM, PRIMARYCPU 2
and end the line by pressing Return. SCF then begins processing the ADD
PROCESS command.
In interactive mode, SCF begins to execute the command when it receives a
command line not terminated with an ampersand (or, in rare circumstances, when
its internal buffer space has been filled). If you place multiple commands
(separated by semicolons) on a continued line, SCF waits until it has received the
entire command string before processing any of the commands.
In noninteractive mode, SCF executes the same series of commands one at a
time, from left to right.
Entering a Comment Line
When creating an SCF command file for noninteractive mode, you can enter comment
text following the comment characters “==” at the beginning of a line or within a line.
Any text within the line after the “==” characters is not processed; for example:
-> == Reconfigure for the 8:00 a.m. shift.
-> OBEY $BASL.AM800.CONFIG
-> == Start all of the terminals.
-> START SU $LINE.* == Start all.
Also, you can enter a comment using the COMMENT command described on
page 5-42. The command COMMENT must appear at the beginning of the line; for
example:
-> COMMENT Load all of the common aliases.
-> OBEY $DATA.COMMON.ALIASES,NOECHO
Using Keyword Abbreviations
SCF allows users in interactive and noninteractive mode to abbreviate keywords as
long as the abbreviation is unique within the subsystem. Keywords include
commands, object types, and attribute names. You cannot abbreviate alias names.
The following are examples of keyword abbreviations:
ALLOW has no abbreviation.
ALLOWO is a valid abbreviation for ALLOWOPENS.
SETP is a valid abbreviation for SETPROMPT.
STATS has no abbreviation.
STATU is a valid abbreviation for STATUS.
SW is a valid abbreviation for SWITCH.
SAVE C is a valid abbreviation for SAVE CONFIGURATION.
