C66:  PERCENT 
This keyword gives XAC the ability to use tokens from the invocation command line. 
The default is ON for ACL Command Entries with a FILE specification and OFF for an 
OBEY or interactive specification. 
Syntax: 
PERCENT { ON | OFF } 
In the Example below, the user executing the XAC STOPDISK $DATA1 would 
accomplish the same thing as someone being logged in to 255,253 and typing SCF 
STOP DISK $DATA1. The %1 is the first token after the command. %2 would be the 
second token, up to %9. There are other %tokens available such as %T (terminal) and 
%G (group). Refer to Appendix F: “XAC Obey and Command File Use and Token 
Replacement.” 
Example: 
XAC command:  XAC STOPDISK $DATA1 
ACACL Command Entry: 
COMMAND STOPDISK 
 USER 255,253 
 OBJECT $SYSTEM.SYSNN.SCF 
 FILE $SYSTEM.SYSMGR.STOPDISK 
 PERCENT ON 
Contents of the $SYSTEM.SYSMGR.STOPDISK file: 
STOP DISK %1 
Note: The order of evaluation of commands is ALIAS, %parameters, FKEY, 
ALLOWCMD / DENYCMD, COMMANDESC and RUNCHECK. All %parameter 
substitution occurs after any ALIAS entries are processed and before any other 
command evaluation occurs. 
A percent sign variable, which can be used in various places such as with the INPUT 
keyword, allows the user to volume back to the $VOLUME.SUBVOLUME where the 
user was when he or she executed the XAC command. 
Example of &v use: 
PERCENT ON 
INPUT "VOLUME %v"
