About this Guide › Conventions

Conventions

The following conventions are used throughout this guide to document features, functions, and other aspects of the system:

• Variable text, most commonly used for data set names and console commands, is entered in italics.

  For example, VVE_SCRATCH=volser where volser is the Virtual Volume VOLSER.

• Commands are entered in uppercase and lower-case. The uppercase portion is the minimum number of characters that must be entered for CA Vtape to recognize the command. The lower-case portion is provided for clarity.
• Features, functions, and components of CA Cloud Storage for System z are capitalized. These include, for example: Virtual Volumes and Virtual Devices.
