HELP Command

The HELP command describes the syntax and semantics of Peruse commands.

OUT list-file

is the file, process, or device that receives the help message. If you do not specify

OUT list-file, output is directed to the OUT file specified when Peruse was

started by default (the home terminal).

If OUT list-file is specified, Peruse writes the data to the file, process, or

device in a manner suitable for it. list-file must be specified; if the file does

not exist, Peruse creates an EDIT file (file type 101). The file can be an EDIT file,

an unstructured file, a relative file, an entry-sequenced file, a spooler job file, a

process, or a device.

command-name

identifies the particular command for which you want an explanation. It can be any

Peruse command.

ALL

lists a full explanation of all Peruse commands. If you specify neither command-

name nor ALL, an abbreviated description of all Peruse commands is given.

Examples

1. To print syntax information about the Peruse JOB command on a printer named

$LP1, enter

_HELP /OUT $S.#LP1/ JOB

2. The following command sends all of the HELP command output to an EDIT file. If

file MYHELP does not exist, Peruse creates it.

_HELP /OUT MYHELP /
