Format for CMNDS MIM File

When you code commands in the CMNDS MIM file, follow the format and syntax rules summarized here:

Begin each command with the command name (such as VARY). This product ignores all leading spaces.
End each command before column 73. If a command does not fit in columns 1-72 of a line, continue the command on the next line by typing a comma at the end of the current line and then typing the rest of the command on the next line.
Place an asterisk (*) in column 1 to indicate that a line is a comment and not a command.
Place a slash and then an asterisk (/*) before a comment written on a command line to distinguish the comment from the command. The command must precede the /*. Otherwise, the command is treated as a comment.
Separate parameters with a comma or space.

A sample of the CMNDS MIM file is provided on the CA MIM distribution tape. You can either edit this sample file for your environment or create a new file. If you do not use the default file name, CMNDS MIM A, be sure to issue an appropriate FILEDEF command before starting CA MIM.
