PC command (PCCMD)

Specifies the valid DOS command, OS/2 command, or personal computer application you want to run. If you are using the STRPCCMD command on a command line and the command or application name contains special characters, you must enclose the command in apostrophes. Special characters include blanks, commas, and colons.

If you select the option to start a PC command from the PC Organizer menu, you do not need to enclose the command in apostrophes unless it ends in a colon. The ending colon is ignored unless the entire PC command is enclosed in apostrophes.

This is a required parameter.

Pause (PAUSE)

Specifies whether the computer should pause after running a command.

The possible values are:

*YES: The computer will pause after running the command before returning to the PC Organizer menu.
*NO: The computer returns immediately to the PC Organizer menu after the command runs.
