When entering PATHCOM commands, consider:
•
In general, options within a command are position independent. That is, you can
place the options in any order within the command line. For example, this
command:
SET SERVER PROCESSTYPE GUARDIAN, AUTORESTART 1, PROGRAM
$MKT.PR6
could also be entered as:
SET SERVER PROGRAM $MKT.PR6, PROCESSTYPE GUARDIAN,
AUTORESTART 1
Exceptions to the independent positioning of options within a command are
documented with the individual commands.
•
The SERVER attribute keywords and values for ARGLIST, ASSIGN, DEFINE,
ENV, and PARAM must be enclosed in parentheses when multiple arguments
(values) are specified for the attribute and other attributes are included in the same
command. Parentheses are not required if the attribute is the last specified in the
command.
These examples show correct usage of parentheses. In the first command
parentheses are not required because only one attribute is defined. In the second
example, the first attribute is enclosed in parentheses because another attribute is
specified after it; the ASSIGN definition is the last in the list and does not require
parentheses. In the third example, both attributes must be enclosed in
parentheses because neither is the last in the list.
SET SERVER PARAM A a, B b
SET SERVER ( PARAM A a, B b ), ASSIGN aaaaa, bbbbb
SET SERVER ( PARAM A a, B b ), ( ASSIGN aaaaa, bbbbb ) , &
PRI 141
•
You can embed comments within a line of commands or you can enter comments
on separate lines. Enclose the comments in brackets if a PATHCOM command is
on the same line. If there are no PATHCOM commands on the same line as a
comment, you only need to enter a left bracket to cause PATHCOM to recognize a
comment. For example:
[PATHCOM treats this line as a comment.]
[PATHCOM treats this line as a comment too.
=ADD SERVER B-SERVE [Here is a comment.],LIKE A-SERVE
