Some of the commonest commands have an additional alias name, marked “Alias” to the right of the full command name in the syntax diagram (see also section "SDF syntax representation").
The alias consists of up to 8 characters (A..Z). An exception is made in the case of the “START commands” (for example, POSIX-SHELL is the alias for START-POSIX-SHELL). The alias is derived from the full command name, with the name elements always being abbreviated in the same way (e.g. CR for CREATE).
In some cases there may be two aliases (e.g. CL and CLP for CALL-PROCEDURE).
The defined command alias is guaranteed in the long term. The alias cannot be further abbreviated.
The following overview lists all the commands described in Volumes 2 to 7 together with their aliases.
