Commands Standards

A command provides a way for a user to direct the execution of a procedure.

Commands should be consistent across the system so that users are comfortable in their choice of commands, regardless of the procedure being executed. The lack of standards can cause confusion.

For example, you might choose the command D to mean DISPLAY while another designer might choose D to mean DELETE. Such ambiguity can have serious consequences.
