#ARGUMENT Built-In Function
STRING
matches the name of a variable level, text enclosed in quotation marks, or a
concatenation of such entities. The concatenation operator is '+'. With this type
of alternative, the TEXT option returns an exact copy of the string as it was
entered; the VALUE option returns the resulting value of the string after it has
been evaluated (enclosing quotation marks removed and all specified
invocation and concatenation performed).
SUBSYSTEM
matches a subsystem ID (for use with #STOP, #ABEND, or the Subsystem
Programmable Interface). See the TACL Programming Guide for a description
of subsystem IDs.
SUBVOL
matches the name of a subvolume.
SUBVOLTEMPLATE
matches a subvolume name that may contain special template characters.
SYSTEMNAME [ / SYNTAX / ]
matches the name of a known system. The SYNTAX option specifies that any
node name is acceptable as long as it is formatted correctly.
TEMPLATE
matches a file-name template. The template returned by VALUE has defaults
substituted for fields omitted in the input.
TEXT
matches all remaining arguments. The text returned by VALUE contains
spaces in place of end-of-line delimiters.
TOKEN / TOKEN token-text /
matches a user-specified character sequence regardless of delimiters. The
TOKEN keyword is required preceding the token text. The token text, 1 to 32
characters in length, is not case-sensitive. It cannot include a comma, left or
right parenthesis, semicolon, slash, or space.
TRANSID
matches a TMF transaction ID formatted as follows:
\node-name( crash-count). cpu. sequence
If crash-count is zero, the transaction ID can be formatted as follows:
\node-name. cpu. sequence
