Introduction : Conventions Used in This Manual

Commands are shown in a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. In general, these commands can be abbreviated. When a command is shown in this manual, the capital letters of the command indicate the minimum abbreviation.

Note:

This convention does not mean that the user has to type the second part of the command in lowercase letters. The user can enter commands in any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.

For example, enter the command Check in any of the following forms:

CH
CHE
CHEC
CHECK

The user cannot abbreviate commands shown wholly in uppercase letters.

Lowercase italics describe command arguments. Replace the description shown by the text or value required. Here are some examples:


Name	Definition	Example
name	An AVEVA E3D™ element name	/PIPE-A63
refno	An AVEVA E3D™ reference number	=23/1403
integer	A positive integer	3
value	A positive or negative number	3.142
word	A sequence of up to four letters	FLOW
text	An alphanumeric string	’Enclose between closing quotes’
filename	The path name of a file	//net/sg99/testing. Note that when a full path name is given, it will start with two slashes: the first one is needed because all names in AVEVA E3D™ must start with a slash, and the second one is the root of the path name.
