Some commands have parameters that allow you to specify a range
of values. The following explains the ranges for parameters with
subscripts
(nnnn), (nnn), or
(n):
- (nnnn) - denotes that you may specify a
range for the subscript as follows:
- nnnn
- A specific numeric value.
- nnnn-nnnn
- A specific numeric
range (for example, 2-5 or 5-2 where 5–2 is interpreted as having
all the values from 2 to 5)
- nnnn-*
- A generic numeric range (for example, 3-* denotes a range from
3 to the highest value allowed).
- *-nnnn
- A generic numeric range (for example, *-3 denotes a range from
the highest value allowed to 3).
- *
- A generic value that denotes all values in a defined range.
- (nnn) - denotes that you may specify a range
for the subscript in the same way as (nnnn), where (nnn) is 1-255.
- (n) - denotes that you may specify a value
(0-9) or a generic range (*).
Note: - For display commands, you can omit the subscript. If omitted,
this denotes a generic value to include all values in a defined range.
For example, the command $D MEMBER is equivalent to $D MEMBER(*).
- Using the ALL parameter on any type of display command that may
involve up to 30,000 jobs is not recommended.
