Parameter Conventions

Knowing how to enter parameters for a command is essential. Properly entering parameters lets you access the display you want.

Use the following conventions to enter parameters:

• When you enter a parameter, separate the command from the parameters with a space.
• When you enter more than one parameter, separate the individual parameters with a comma or a space.
