Specifying Flags
Follow this procedure to specify flags:
-
Click on the Flag field and type the actual flag that the command expects,
such as -k.
-
Click this on if the
flag is optional. Click this off
if the flag is required.
-
Provide a brief description of the flag. This description appears in the
Execute window as a flag prompt each time the command is executed.
(Example)
-
Click this on if this flag takes a parameter. Then:
-
Choose a type.
-
Optionally specify a default value.
-
This should be on
if the command expects a space between the flag and its parameter
(-k LPS40). Click this button off
if the command expects no
space (-kLPS40).
-
When the Flag window is first opened, there is only one flag form. Click
on More to append another flag form and specify another flag.
Note: Subsequent flag forms cannot be added until the last
flag form's Flag field contains something. You must scroll down to the next
flag form before entering the flag information.
