Rules for Command Flags

The following rules apply for flags:
• Flags that are equivalent to specifying a corresponding command-
attribute or object-attribute that can have only one value are
processed such that only the last value specified is used. This means,
if these flags occur multiple times in a command, the value specified
for the last occurrence of the flag is used.
• You can specify multiple instances of a flag when you use the -x, -X,
or -f FileName flags.
The following example shows how the -X flag can be entered on the
command line so that more than one attribute file can be read within
one command. The contents of the two files are added together.
pdpr -X a.dat -X b.dat File1
However, if the two files contain the same attribute, the value of that
attribute in the file read last is used.
