The optional parameters are dependent on the first keyword specified. Based on the first keyword specified, zero or more of the additional keywords may be appropriate.

keyword2: Specifies additional information in support of the operation specified with the first keyword.
keyword3: Specifies additional information in support of the operation specified with the first keyword.
keyword4: Specifies additional information in support of the operation specified with the first keyword.

Rules: The keywords specified must be from one to eight characters in length and can consist of alphanumeric (A-Z and 0-9), the national character set ($@#), and mask and wildcard-type characters (*%). The only checking done by the host is to verify that the specified keywords conform to the supported character set. The validity of the keywords themselves and the keywords in combination with each other is verified when the command is received at the library. Any errors that the library encounters are reported back to the host and displayed as part of the command output for CBR1280I.
