:  2.4 Command Parameters

P Parameters are used to specify binary log files for processing, designate output files, and create filters. In most cases, Compaq Analyze allows you to specify parameters in any order. For example, the following commands using the new common syntax are equivalent:

Aca n tra inp myinput.zpd out myoutput.txt index=(start:10) brief
Aca n brief index=(start:10) out myoutput.txt inp myinput.txt tra

¿ Notice that even the placement of the command verb (tra in this case) may be changed.

Œ Be aware of the following exceptions to the order independence rule:

(EWith the common syntax, the command verb must be the first parameter.
(ðThe parameters of the common syntax filterlog command must be entered in the specified order. See Section 2.8 for more on the filterlog command.
(àIf you are using the new common syntax sum command and you want to generate indexed output, the index parameter must immediately follow the sum command verb. Otherwise, Compaq Analyze will assume you are using the index filter keyword. Refer to Section 2.7 for more on the sum command.
