General Syntax Rules for Command Files
Upper- and Lowercase Characters
A distinction is not made between upper- and lowercase characters. The Replication Manager converts all names to uppercase characters internally, unless you place character strings in double quotation marks.
Comments
Comments in the
command file are initiated by a slash at the start of the line. The entire line is then ignored when the command file is processed by the REPM Server.Keywords
Both the
keywords of the Replication Manager and SQL keywords can be used to denote database objects if they are placed in single or double quotation marks.Delimiters Between Commands
Individual commands in a command file are separated by means of a blank line or comment line.
