PDL principles and procedures

Sample PDL commands

The following table lists a set of commands in the order that they might appear in a JSL. It shows the components of PDL commands and a variety of right part options.

The commands are displayed below in table form so you can more easily distinguish their components. When coding a JSL, you may want to use tabs to separate these parts. You may also prefer to place all parameters for a command on the same line with the command keyword.
