PARAMETER

This Command specified a Parameter belonging to the currently setup Verb in the currently setup Verb Group.

Parameters

NAME

Parameter Name. Multiple Parameters belonging to the same Verb must have unique names, but the names for Parameters for different Verbs may clash. The syntax for a Parameter Names is the same as for Verbs and Qualifiers. Up to 32 characters may be specified, of which only 8 are significant.

Qualifiers

/TYPE=<type>

Specifies the Parameter Type. This defaults to ``Unspecified" if this Qualifier is absent or has no associated value. This Qualifier may only be attached to the Command, not the Parameter Name.

/<qualifier>=<value>

Specifies a Qualifier having the given Qualifier Type directly attached to this Parameter rather than to the corresponding Verb. Multiple Qualifiers may be specified, where each must be unique. A Qualifier that is only attached to one Parameter of a Verb is position dependent, whereas one that is attached to all Parameters, and directly to the Verb (via a VERB Command) is position independent.

Valid Parameter Types are described in the Section on the UI_DEFINE_PARAMETER Subprogram. Valid Qualifier Types are described in the Section for the UI_DEFINE_QUALIFIER Subprogram.
