Notational Conventions

This publication uses the following notational conventions:

Ÿ Italics within		a command	represent	variables for	which	you must	su
For example:
cpgid=	code page identifier
means that you		cpgid=enter as	shown and	then replace	thecodevariable
page identifwither a value			that represents any valid code page,				wh
three-character decimal value (for example, 395)					that	defines an
code	page.

Ÿ Do not enter the following symbols as part of the command:

Bar
Braces	{ }
Brackets	[ ]
Underscore	_

These symbols have the following meanings:

ŸA vertical bar,between values indicates that you can only enter one values with the command. For example:

cc=

{yes

no}

means

that

when

you cc=enter,you

can specifyyeseitherorno as

the

value,

but

not

both.

Note:

In

AIX,

sometimes

the

vertical, acts bar,s a pipe.

When

the

pipe

symbol

appears

between

commands,

it

indicates

that

the

outpu

the first command becomes the input to the second

command. F

example:

acif

inputdd=myfile

enq

-P3825A

means

that

the output generatedacif commandbytheis the

input to

the

AIX

enq

command,

which

prints

the

Ÿ Braces,

{

},

around

values

indicate

a

required

value. For example

cc=

{yes

no}

means that when you cc=enter,you must also yesenterono .

Ÿ Brackets, [ ], around parameters indicate that they are optional.

cc=[ value] [cctype= value]

means that you do not have to cc=entervalue eiorcctype=her value.

ŸAn underscore, _, indicates the default value, which ACIF uses if

specify the parameter with a non-default value. For example:

cc= {yes		no}
means	that	ifcc theparameter is not entered, ACIF uses the default
yes	for cctheparameter.
