|
<div><p>You can control which parameters are displayed for a command during
|
||
|
|
prompting by using prompt control specifications. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>This control can simplify prompting for a command by displaying
|
||
|
|
only the parameters that you want to see.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can specify that a parameter
|
||
|
|
be displayed depending on the value specified for other parameters. This
|
||
|
|
specification is useful when a parameter has meaning only when another parameter
|
||
|
|
(called a controlling parameter) has a certain value.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can also specify
|
||
|
|
that a parameter be selected for prompting only if additional parameters are
|
||
|
|
requested by pressing a function key during prompting. This specification
|
||
|
|
can be used for parameters that are seldom specified by the user, either because
|
||
|
|
the default is normally used or because they control seldom-used functions.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If
|
||
|
|
you want to show all parameters for a command that has prompt control specified,
|
||
|
|
you can request that all parameters be displayed by pressing F9 during prompting.</p>
