Characters per line Maximum 512 characters per line, including any variables after
they are replaced by their values; 78 characters per line
(common screen width) is recommended for readability.
Punctuation and symbols Type all symbols (#, %, ", _) and punctuation exactly as shown
in examples and syntax.
Commands per line Use one command per line. Start each command on a new line;
press Enter to end each command and start a new command.
Lines that wrap automatically are considered one command.
Sequence of commands Generally, enter commands in the order that you want them to
execute, with the following restrictions:
ATTACH commands (NetWare
®
3 only) must precede related
MAP commands to avoid prompting the user for a username/
password during login (see “ATTACH” on page 69).
If you use # (see “#” on page 67) or @ (see “@” on page 68) to
execute an external program, the command must follow any
necessary MAP commands. If sequence is not important, group
similar commands, such as MAP and WRITE commands,
together to make the login script easier to read.
Blank lines Blank lines don’t affect login script execution. Use them to
visually separate groups of commands.
Remarks (REMARK, REM,
asterisks, and semicolons)
Lines beginning with REMARK, REM, an asterisk (*), or a
semicolon (;) are comments, which don’t display when the login
script executes (see “REMARK” on page 83).
Use remarks to record the purpose of each command or group
of commands or to temporarily keep certain lines from
executing.
Identifier variables Type identifier variables exactly as shown. To display the value
of an identifier variable as part of a WRITE command, you must
enclose the identifier in quotation marks and precede it by a
percent sign (%). See “Using Identifier Variables” on page 62.
