  • Closed as documentation error.

Error description

  • Per the 8.1.6 info center the Postschedulecmd shows the short
    form is POSTSC but the Windows examples show POSTS:
    
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQVQ_8.1.6/client/
    r_opt_postnschedulecmd.html
    
    Syntax:
    >>-+-POSTSChedulecmd--+-- --cmdstring-------------------------->
    <
       '-POSTNSChedulecmd-'
    
    Options file:
    Windows
    posts startdb.cmd
    posts 'rename c:\myapp\logfile.log logfile.new'
    posts 'net start "simple service"'
    posts 'rename "c:\myapp\log file.log" "log file.new"'
    posts '"C:\Program Files\MyTools\runreport.bat"
    In previous manuals/pdf's POSTS was the short capitalized form
    until starting at the 8.1.1 Information Center the
    POSTSNAPshotcmd was added
    
    Syntax
    
    >>---POSTSNAPshotcmd---- --"cmdstring"------------------------->
    <
    
    Thus POSTS would no longer be unique and POSTSC would be
    correct/unique. The Windows examples were not updated.
    
    Notes:
    At the 8.1.1 Information Center both commands are documented -
    the Windows examples are incorrect
    At the 8.1.2 Information Center both commands are documented -
    the Windows examples are incorrect
    At the 8.1.3 Information Center both command were removed
    (POSTSChedulecmd and POSTNSChedulecmd)
    At the 8.1.4 Information Center both commands are documented -
    the Windows examples are incorrect
    At the 8.1.5 Information Center both command were removed
    (POSTSChedulecmd and POSTNSChedulecmd)
    At the 8.1.6 Information Center both commands are documented -
    the Windows examples are incorrect
    
    Platforms affected:
    All 8.1
