Keyword Parameters

A keyword parameter consists of a keyword followed by an equal sign (=) and a value. Do not code any intervening blanks when constructing a keyword parameter. Separate the command name and the first keyword parameter with at least one blank.

If you have multiple keyword parameters, separate them with commas. You can place the parameters either on one line (with no intervening blanks or other characters) or on separate lines. The keyword parameters can begin in any column. For example:

COMMAND KEYWORD1=VALUE1,KEYWORD2=VALUE2

or

COMMAND     KEYWORD1=VALUE1,
            KEYWORD2=VALUE2
