Checking Command Syntax
The caret symbol (^) indicates that you have entered an incorrect command, keyword, or argument at a
specific point in the command string.
To set the clock, for example, you can use context-sensitive help to check the syntax for setting the clock.

%Invalid input detected at ‘^’ marker.
WAE# clock ?
read-calendar Read the calendar and update system clock
set Set the time and date

The help output shows that the set keyword is required. You can then check the syntax for entering the
time.
