SYSGEN Command Syntax 

Commands can be classified as either command only or command with
parameters(s).  Commands with parameters can be specified in one of the
following ways: 

       positional parameters 
       keyword parameters 
       options 


NOTE  The command structure established by SYSGEN enables the user to
      select the manner in which parameters accompany the command.


Positional parameters are assigned a position in the parameter sequence.
Separate parameters by semicolons or blanks, or exclude them by using
consecutive semicolons.  Enclose subparameters and repeated parameters in
parentheses, and separate them by commas or blanks.

A subparameter can be either strings or numeric values separated by
blanks or commas.  Enclose them in parentheses if more than one is
present.  Always specify subparameters by fixed position within the
subparameter list.  You can omit subparameters by entering consecutive
commas.

A repeated parameter is a single parameter value that can be repeated an
arbitrary number of times.  Separate parameters by commas or blanks, and
enclose them in parentheses () if more than one is present.
