ADD ALIAS

Syntax

ADD ALIAS=name STRING=substitution

Where:

■

name is a character string 1 to 132 characters in length. It may contain any

printable character. If name contains spaces it must be enclosed in double

quotes. It is case-sensitive.

■ substitution is a character string 1 to 132 characters in length. It may contain

any printable character. If substitution contains spaces it must be enclosed

in double quotes. It is case-sensitive.

Description

This command adds a new alias for a longer character sequence. When the user

presses [Enter] to execute the command line, the command processor first

checks the command line for aliases and substitutes the replacement text. The

command line is then parsed and processed normally. Alias substitution is not

recursive—the command line is scanned only once for aliases. An alias may

represent either part of a command, or a complete command.

The ALIAS parameter specifies the name of the alias. This is the text that the

user enters on the command line.

The STRING parameter specifies the substitution string. When the command

processor parses the command line, all occurrences of the alias are replaced by

this string.

Examples

To create an alias “

” that expands to “

delete file=1-190.rez

”, use the

command:

add alias=df string=”delete file=1-190.rez”

Thereafter, the following commands are equivalent:

del file=1-190.rez
