MAI provides commands that can be used to perform MAI functions. The following types of commands are provided:
Are commands entered at the beginning of any input field in the current application (or session). The first character of a session command is always a skip character (usually a period) that MAI recognizes so that commands are not treated as data by the application. To use a session command, you type a skip character, followed by the session command, and then press a skip key (usually the F12 and F24 keys).
Your system administrator assigns a default skip character for all MAI sessions. However, the skip character can be changed for a specific session.
Your system administrator also defines skip keys that are standard across all sessions. To view the skip keys, and the default skip character, as defined by your system administrator, use the I line command.
Note: For additional information about defining MAI system parameters, see the Administration Guide.
Are commands entered at the Command ===> prompt on the MAI : Primary Menu.
Are commands entered to the left of an entry in the session list on the MAI : Primary Menu.
Primary and line commands consist of one or more alphabetic characters or numbers. To enter a primary or line command, type the command in the appropriate input field and press the Enter key.
You use commands to perform common tasks in MAI while using MAI functions. Users with a privilege class of A use other commands that are only available to them to manage sessions.
