<Name> (<ServiceName>, <ProfileName>)
A name is an ASCII name from one to fifteen characters. All names
must start with an alphabetic character (A-Z). All letters are not case-
significant, but are stored in the correct case for visual clarity.
Names can be used to identify Services (LAN and X.25) and profiles
(USER, SERVICE, and TERMINAL). Names must be unique within a
given context. This means that the name FRED cannot be used twice in
the context of LAN services, but can be used to represent a LAN service,
WAN service, user profile, service profile and terminal profile all at the
same time. This allows the utmost flexibility. It is however
recommended that names be chosen with some meaning, e.g. VT220 for
a terminal profile.
<Number>
A number can be represented as decimal or hexadecimal. A decimal
number is entered in standard form, e.g. 100. A hexadecimal number
can be entered by preceding the hex number by 0x, e.g. 0xa9 = 169.
<SessionId>
A SessionId identifies a session within the context of one user. It can be
a session number (1 to 4) or a ServiceName.
<String> (<Text>)
A string is a series of characters. It may contain embedded control
characters. Control characters are indicated by preceding the character
by a carat, e.g.
= Control-G
^G
A carat can be entered by typing two carats (
When it is required to enter a string in a command line, and not in a
form, it is necessary to delimit the string by using double quotes. This
allows the string to contain spaces and other item separators, e.g.
''This is an example string^M^J''
(A double quote can be entered into the string by typing two double
quotes.)
