You interact with the CLI by issuing commands from the command prompt. Some Compaq Analyze operations can be performed using several different commands, or syntaxes. The supported syntaxes are:
Ę You can enter commands using any of the supported command formats. If desired, you can switch between the different syntaxes. 2
P  | ; Note |
| : ˙ The DECevent emulator is only supported on UNIX and VMS systems. In addition, the DECevent emulator only supports some of the commands. Refer to Table 2–4 for a list of the commands supported by the DECevent emulator. |
If you are using a command syntax other than the default, you must include a syntax designator in the command. Table 2–2 shows the syntax designators.

¶ When Compaq Analyze is installed, the common syntax is the default for the CLI. As a result, when you enter commands in the common syntax you do not need to include a syntax designator. If you want, you can change the default syntax. Any commands that use the default syntax do not require a syntax designator. To specify a default syntax, use the following command: r( x ca syntax syntax_designator e t( ź Where syntax_designator refers to the letter corresponding to the desired default syntax (see Table 2–2 for the designator associated with each syntax). ] w
l
l£ For example, to set the new common syntax as the default syntax, use the following command:
; " ca syntax n l
/ Once the syntax is set, you can enter commands in your chosen syntax without specifying the syntax designator. Table 2–3 shows how the default syntax setting affects commands. /2
