Examples:
Inserting Parameters in an Alias
You can insert one or more parameters in an <alias_value> when creating an alias.
You can insert a parameter in an
<alias_value> in one of two ways:
• Parameter concatenation: You can insert a dollar sign ($) in the last character
position of the
<alias_value> . Then, when a user enters the alias name and
follows it with the value of the parameter, the system executes the alias with
the value the user entered.
• Parameter reference: You can embed one or more parameters anywhere inside
the <
alias_value> . For each parameter you embed when creating the alias,
you insert a percent sign (%) and a parameter number. The parameter
%1
in
an
<alias_value> takes the value of the first parameter the user enters at the
command line after the alias name; the parameter
%2
in an <alias_value>
takes the value of the second parameter the user enters, and so on.
