Use of Abbreviations in CA Ideal Commands

The following list provides an explanation of how abbreviations are used:

Standard-The standard abbreviation for a command is the first three characters of the word. Abbreviations are not shown in the syntax illustrations in this guide.
Exceptions-There are a number of exceptions to the standard first three-character abbreviation. These exceptions are abbreviations for command words whose first three characters are not unique and, therefore, would conflict with an abbreviation for another command. Other abbreviations (or no abbreviation at all) are used. For a complete list of these abbreviations, see the Preliminary Concepts section of the Command Reference Guide.
Alternates-CA Ideal also accepts alternate abbreviations. These alternate abbreviations are included in the list of abbreviations in the Command Reference Guide.
