Command Line Syntax Rules

Values for configuration options that contain special characters require:

  • Double ( " ) quotation marks when executed from an MVS Universal Command Manager.
  • Single ( ' ) quotation marks when executed from an IBM i Universal Command Manager.

For example, the following is correct when executed from a z/OS Universal Command Manager:

MSGCMDPATH("/usr/local/universal/bin/uwto")

However, the following is incorrect when executed from a z/OS Universal Command Manager; it will create a syntax error:

MSGCMDPATH('/usr/local/universal/bin/uwto')
