Syntax Notation

This publication uses the following syntax notation:

  • Italics within a command represent variables for which you must supply a value. For example:
    • CPGID=codepageid

    means that you enter CPGID= as shown and then replace the variable codepageid with a value that represents any valid code page, which is three-character decimal value (for example, 395) that defines an IBM-registered code page.

  • Do not enter the following symbols as part of the command:
    Vertical bar
    |
    Braces
    { }
    Brackets
    [ ]
    Underscore
    _

These symbols have the following meanings:

  • A vertical bar, |, between values indicates that you can only enter one of the values with the command. For example:
    • CC={YES | NO}
    means that when you enter CC=, you can specify either YES or NO as the value, but not both.
