2.1.3.1 Entering Commands
In examples throughout the manual, SCS commands and keywords are displayed in upper case for clarity.
They may be entered in upper, lower, or mixed case. When entering a string, such as a username or filename,
enclose the string in quotes; this will retain the case entered. If a string is not enclosed in quotes, it will be
changed automatically to all uppercase characters.
The Command Reference chapter (Chapter 12) displays the syntax of each command, including any
restrictions, known errors, and references to related commands. Optional parameters are enclosed in
brackets []. Required parameters are enclosed in curly braces {}; one and only one of those parameters must
be used. User-supplied parameters, such as a particular port number or host name, are shown in italics.
The SCS command completion feature will complete partially-typed commands for you. This feature can
save time and reduce errors if you’re entering a number of commands. To use command completion, type
part of a command, then press the space bar. The SCS will automatically “type” the remainder of the
command. If the partially-entered command is ambiguous (or if you are entering an optional string), the SCS
will be unable to finish the command and the terminal will beep.
Note: Command completion is disabled by default. To enable command completion,
refer to Set/Define Ports Command Completion on page 12-58.
All keys used for entering and editing commands are listed in Table 2-1.
