Command Default Values

[David Abramowitz]

In Unixland the | symbol is a <u>pipe</u>, and that has special meaning. This probably has nothing to do with the price of potatoes, but OTOH it may be a good guess. Dave

On a 400, the ^ isn't used for anything as far as I know, but | is used in CL programs as a logical OR in a COND(), and in pairs for concatenation. Do & and % require quotes?

[J.Wells]

Curious question of the day - Why does the | symbol not require quotation marks and the ^ does in the following code? <pre> PARM KWD(DLM1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) DFT(|) PROMPT('1st Delimiter:') PARM KWD(DLM2) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) DFT('^') PROMPT('2nd Delimiter:') </pre> Just curious! Joe
