Event and Command Parameters

This section provides general information about parameters you can define for your event and command definitions.

Field Types for Event and Command Parameters

Parameters for each type of event or command use one of the following field types:

• Characters (letters, numerals, _ (underscore), and special characters used in macro-expansion)

  Macro expansion can be used in fields of character type, as described in the section Using Macro Expansion for Character Fields. You can use the macros described in the section Macros for Parameter Values.

• Boolean (allowable values are TRUE and FALSE)
• Numeric (numerals 0-9)

Forms of Event and Command Parameters

Parameters of character type can be one of the following forms:

• Single parameter

  The parameter must be unique within the definition.

• Multi-value

  The parameter name does not need to be unique within the definition. Multiple instances of a multi-value parameter can be defined; each instance would have a different value.

• Group of subparameters

  The parameter name must be unique within the definition, but multiple instances of the parameter can be defined, each specifying a unique subparameter. For instance, if you have parameters called Filter.A and Filter.B, A and B are subparameters of the group parameter Filter.

Table 5 illustrates the usage of parameters of the three forms of character fields. Parameters must be specified in a form similar to what is shown.
