Coding rules for CLP Commands
These rules apply both on Command Line and inside a CLP program.
- Blank space separates parts of a command
- Parentheses go around keywords and values
- Example SAVLIB LIB(XFILES) DEV(TAP01)
- Slash connects parts of a qualified name or path name
- Example WRKOBJ XFILES/UFOS
- Single apostrophe indicates beginning and end of a quoted character string (a constant)
- Example SNDMSG MSG('Intruder Alert') TOUSR(QBOSS)
- *N is a place holder (take the defaults) indicating the absense of a positional parameter
- Example RUNQRY *N LOG
- Predefined values begin with an asterisk and indicate IBM-defined values which are reserved by OS/400 and may be used in programs to have those set functions
- Example SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR) DEV(*SAVF)
- Generic name contains one or more characters that are those that start some object(s) then end in asterisk to signify wild card list of all that share that prefix
- Example DSPF*
