Workload Automation Programming Language commands syntax

The general syntax for all Workload Automation Programming Language commands is COMMAND [RESOURCE] KEYWORD(value) KEYWORD(value)

Consider that:

• Some commands require a resource which is either the type of item, or a single item upon which the command is issued. For these command,s this is always the second word of the command statement.
• Specify the values of a command within parentheses. Do no insert a blank between the keyword and the opening parenthesis, because this is interpreted as a separate keyword.
• Keywords and their values can be separated from other keywords and their values by commas, blanks, or both.
• If a keyword value requires parentheses, that value must be enclosed within single quotation marks inside the keyword parentheses. For example, KEYWORD(‘my.value(member)ʼ). In all other cases, the containing quotation marks are optional.
• Containing quotation marks are not passed through to the underlying process.
• If containing quotation marks are used, you must specify two consecutive single quotation marks to represent a single quotation mark in the underlying process.
• A single quotation mark at the start of a value is considered to be a containing quotation mark, and a terminating quotation mark is required at the end of the value.
• Double quotation marks are always passed through to the underlying process.
