Commands are shown in a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. In general, these commands can be abbreviated. When a command is shown in this manual, the capital letters of the command indicate the minimum abbreviation.
Note: This convention does not mean that the user has to type the second part of the command in lowercase letters. The user can enter commands in any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.
For example, enter the command Check in any of the following forms:
CH
CHE
CHEC
CHECK
The user cannot abbreviate commands shown wholly in uppercase letters.
Lowercase italics describe command arguments. Replace the description shown by the text or value required. Here are some examples:
