Writing a script in the command file
When you write a script in your command file, be aware of the following:
•
Ensure that only one subcommand is used in one line.
•
Empty lines in any command file will be ignored.
•
Use a semicolon (;) if you want to insert a comment in your command file. If you enter a
semicolon in one line, the remaining characters in that line will be regarded as a comment.
Following are examples of comments in a command file:
;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;; COMMAND FILE: command.txt ;;;;
;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
svpip 158.214.135.57 ; IP address of SVP
login expusr "passwd" ; Log onto SVP

command prompt. To be able to view the online Help, you must use the help subcommand of the
Export Tool. For more information about how to use the help subcommand, see
