Validation Command Line Parameters
Some of Validation’s command line parameters have already been described. You get the full list when, when you
open a DOS box, go to the
bin directory of the DOKuStar Validation installation and enter
dsval -?
Most command line options have a short and a long format, for example,
dsval –a is equivalent to
dsval –admin.
