Getting TACL Help
The TACL program offers on-screen help for TACL commands:
•
When you make a mistake entering a command, the TACL program displays ways
to correct your mistake.
For example, when you misspell the name of a command, the TACL program
displays a list of the options it is expecting at that point:
This message tells you that the TACL program needs the correct name of a variable
(such as a TACL command or macro), a built-in (a TACL function or variable that
begins with a number sign “#”), or a file (the name of a program file). In this case,
STATS is none of these; it is a misspelling of STATUS.
If you enter the command name correctly but make a mistake in a command option,
the TACL program lists the options that are legal for that command. For example:
•
The F16 function key is the TACL HELP key. If you enter the first part of a
command plus a space and then press F16 (without pressing Return), the TACL
program lists the possible options for that point in the command.
This example shows a list of options for the STATUS command. In this example,
the user pressed the F16 key after typing STATUS and a space.
