<h1 class="topictitle1">Command parameters</h1>
<div><p>Most CL commands have one or more <em>parameters</em> that specify
the objects and values used to run the commands.</p>
<div class="section"><p>When a command is entered, the user supplies the command object
name, the parameter keyword names, and the parameter values used by the command.
The number of parameters specified depends upon the command. Some commands
(like the DO (Do) command and the <span class="cmdname">ENDBCHJOB (End Batch Job)</span> command)
have no parameters, and others have one or more.</p>
<p>In this
topic, the word <em>parameter</em> usually refers to the combination of the
parameter keyword and its value. For example, the <span class="cmdname">Move Object (MOVOBJ)</span> command
has a parameter called OBJ that requires an object name to be specified. OBJ
is the parameter keyword, and the name of the object is the value entered
for the OBJ parameter.</p>
