This character is written to the terminal by the system when SINTRAN is ready to accept a command. The user types characters after the @. A command can be written as one or several lines, in upper or lower case. If the user types carriage return (CR) before all parameters are entered, SINTRAN asks for the missing parameters on the next lines. A command may be written in one of the following ways (user input is underlined): @LIST-FILES ALFA TERM or @LIST-FILES FILE NAME: ALFA OUTPUT FILE: TERM or @LIST-FILES,ALFA OUTPUT FILE: TERM or @LIST-FILES FILE NAME: ALFA,TERM or @LIST-FILES,ALFA,, The last example uses the default value for the parameter OUTPUT FILE. To use a default value for the last parameter in a command requires an extra comma; one comma causes a request for the parameter. The following abbreviations are used in this manual: CR carriage return DEC = decimal number OCT = octal number DEF default The notation (OCT: 0 - 77) means an octal number in the range 0 to 77 inclusive.
