Syntax Rules

The rules pertaining to each clause in the syntax are listed as follows.

name is status

Identifies a new STATUS to be added to the CCDB or an existing STATUS occurrence to be modified, deleted, displayed, or punched. The status-name must be a 1 to 16-character alphanumeric value. For ADD actions this clause is required, cannot contain masking specifications, and must be unique within all statuses in the CCDB. For all other operations, this clause is optional or may be specified with valid masking specifications as described in Chapter 1.

TYPe is type

Indicates whether the STATUS is PUBLIC or PRIVATE. If omitted, defaults to PUBLIC.

COMment is 'comment-text'

A 1 to 60-character, user-defined remark for the STATUS.
