Meaning

Example                                                          

UPPER-CASE-LETTERS
or special characters

Uppercase letters and special characters denote keywords or constants and must be entered by the user exactly as shown.

NOW=

lower-case-letters

Lowercase letters denote variables which, on entry, must be replaced by current values.

DIRECTORY=filename
possible entry:
DIRECTORY=ARCHIVE.DIR

{ ... / ... }

(Complex) entries in braces are alternative, i.e. you must select one of the options.

DIR={filename/NONE}
possible entries:
DIR=SAVE or DIR=NONE

/

The slash denotes a choice between alternatives; it has the same function as braces.

NOW=YES/NO
possible entries:
NOW=YES or NOW=NO

[ ... ]

Square brackets enclose optional specifications, i.e entries that can be omitted. When a comma is enclosed between square brackets in optional entries, it need only be typed if the option is used. When it is outside the brackets it must be specified even if the option is not used (round brackets must be entered).

YES[,LARGE/PAM pages]

possible entries:
YES or YES,LARGE
or YES,5

Underlining

Underlining highlights a default value.

For parameters that are defined in the ARCHIVE parameter file, the presetting is entered (cf. "SHOW-DEFAULT Display the default parameter settings"). The value for the parameters can differ from the presetting if the parameter file has been changed (cf. "Changing the presettings").

For other parameters, the default value is the value that ARCHIVE inserts if you do not make an entry.
If no default value is specified, you must make an entry.


NOW=YES/NO
possible entries:
NOW=YES or NOW=NO or no entry, then the value is taken from the ARCHIVE parameter file.

DRIVES=1/integer
possible entries:
DRIVES=2 or no entry, then DRIVES=1 is used.

PASSWORD=password

. . .

Ellipses denote repetition, i.e. the preceding syntactical unit may be specified one or more times in succession.

(vsn,...)
possible entries:
(C5432A,C5003A) or
(C5432A,C5003A,C5112A) etc.

=                                 

An equals sign links the operand name with the operand values associated with it.

NOW=YES/NO
