Conventions
In addition to the conventions listed in the prefix of this manual, the following conventions apply to all
SDUTIL command syntax descriptions and examples as shown on the following pages.
NOTATION DESCRIPTION
{ } An element inside braces is required.
UPPERCASE SDUTIL defined element. It may be either a command or keyword.
Lowercase User defined variable. The parameter must be replaced by a user supplied variable.
Note that System Dictionary does not require you to enter the parameters in upper and lower case as
shown here. You may enter commands, keywords, variables, and their abbreviations in whichever case you
choose, as System Dictionary automatically upshifts everything except passwords. Passwords, therefore,
must be entered exactly as defined in the dictionary.
MPE Commands
MPE commands can be issued without leaving SDU TIL. Whenever the prompt for a command (>) is
present, an MPE command can be issued by entering a colon (:) followed by the command desired.
SDUTIL passes the command on to the operating system to be processed. After the command has been
completed, control is returned and you are prompted (>) to continue.
MPE commands that can be issued from SDUTIL are those which are supported by the MPE 'COMMAND'
intrinsic. Refer to the MPE Intrinsics Reference Manual for a list of these commands.
