Apart from the format, there has been little change in this document.
Some points are clarified and references to out-of-date documents replaced or
removed. The move from DCL to Unix is also reflected.
The main significant changes are as follows:
- The DEFAULT field
- (Section
Quoted strings may now be given as defaults for
non-primitive types - the string within the quotes will be taken as the
`name'.
- NEEDS
- (Section
)
The changes introduced with ADAM V2.0 whereby the only effect of
NEEDS is to define command line positions, are reflected. There are
corresponding changes to the RANGE and IN descriptions.
- RANGE
- (Section
)
The interaction between the dynamic minimum/maximum system and the RANGE is
described.
- ACCEPT
- (Sections
and
)
The ACCEPT keyword now only affects parameters for which a prompt would
otherwise have been issued.
Parameters may also now be forced to ACCEPT by the keyword=
parameter
specifier or by typing `
' in response to a prompt.
- Suggested Values
- The term prompt value has been replaced by
suggested value which is now the preferred term.
- Help Files
- Appendix
has been added to give details of the
filenames which may be given with the HELP, HELPKEY and HELPLIB fields.
- Output Parameters
- Appendix
has been altered to describe
the simpler method of avoiding prompts for output parameters now that the
type, shape and size of parameter file components will be changed automatically
if necessary when a parameter value is `put'.
