Command Syntax for ELIPS Functions

You can specify ELIPS function commands from the ELIPS entry panel, LONG, SHORT or ARCHIVE selection lists.

The ELIPS entry panel lets you enter the command with or without parameters. When you specify a parameter, the command line overrides any parameter values that are filled in on the panel. Otherwise, ELIPS takes the command parameter values from the appropriate fields on the entry panel.

When you do not specify the command in the entry panel, the command defaults to either:

The ELIPS selection lists let you enter the command in the command line or as a line selection in the list. Since the line selection panel field is a one character field, you can use only commands that have one character short formats as line selections.

The command syntax for ELIPS functions are as follows, for all commands except LIST:

command member PSWD(pswd) ARC(lvl) NEW(newname)
command

ELIPS function command.

member

Name of the member to act on.

pswd

Member's present password (where appropriate).

lvl

Archive level of the member to access.

newname

New name for RENAME and COPY commands.

Note: You can access members whose names contain lower case characters only as a line in the body of a member selection list. Member names entered on the main panel or on a selection list command line are converted to upper case before processing.

The command syntax for the ELIPS LIST command is as follows:

LIST wildcard LANG(lan) TYPE(type) PGMR(pgmr)
wildcard

The wildcard name the LIST is generated for. If the list is to include all members, use * (asterisk) as the name.

lan

The three-character CA Librarian language code for the LIST command.

type

The member TYPE for the LIST command. You can specify the TYPE as /lan instead of using the LANG keyword. If you specify both LANG and TYPE, then TYPE is used.

pgmr

The programmer name or wildcard programmer name for the LIST command.
