Common Parameters
Parameter values might be names (strings) or numbers. To use spaces as part of a name
parameter, enclose the name value in double quotes. For example, the expression “System
Name with Spaces” forces the system to accept the spaces. Empty strings (“”) are not valid
user-defined strings. The following table describes common parameter values and value
formatting:
