Entering Commands

The complete syntax of all RDFCOM commands appears in
rules that apply to all RDFCOM commands appear in the following list:
• You can enter commands in either uppercase or lowercase letters or any combination of
these.
• RDFCOM reads command lines up to 132 characters (bytes) long; if the maximum line length
of your input device is less than 132 characters, and your command input exceeds the device's
limit, the input will wrap around to the next line but will terminate when 132 characters
have been read. RDFCOM does not support additional entry lines or special command
continuation characters.
• RDFCOM supports a comments character (vertical bar - |) within command entry lines or
within OBEY command files.
For more information on using the comment character, see the Sample Configuration script
in "Sample Configuration File" (page
