How to Correct Typing Errors

If you make mistakes when entering a system task, DC/UCF redisplays keywords (if any) for the task, along with an error message. In the following example, you mistype the keyword "tasks" and enter rasks instead:

Vnnn ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:       CA IDMS release nn.n tape volser node nodename
  dcmt display rasks

After you press Enter, the incorrectly typed command is redisplayed and flagged as an error:

  DISPLAY RASKS
          * ERROR
IDMS DC260004 V55 INVALID SYNTAX TOKEN FOUND
Vnnn ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:       CA IDMS release nn.n tape volser node nodename

You can correct your typing error in one of the following ways:

• Enter the necessary characters in the redisplayed line, as shown below:

  dcmt DISPLAY tASKS
               * ERROR
  IDMS DC260004 V55 INVALID SYNTAX TOKEN FOUND
  Vnnn ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:       CA IDMS release nn.n tape volser node nodename
  

• Re-enter the command after the TP-monitor prompt, as shown below:

       DISPLAY rasks
               * ERROR
  IDMS DC260004 V55 INVALID SYNTAX TOKEN FOUND
  Vnnn ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:       CA IDMS release nn.n tape volser node nodename
    dcmt display tasks
