tsscmd Format


tsscmd statements have one of the following two basic formats:

tsscmd command options arguments
value = `tsscmd command options arguments'

where:

In the second format, value is a variable defined in whatever scripting language you are using: the tsscmd expression will return a value to this variable, which can then be used in the test script in whatever manner the scripting language allows.

Note that `' indicate delimiters. Some delimiter is required, but a different delimiter might be used, or required, with different scripting languages. For example, in Perl, here are the correct command formats:

`tsscmd command options arguments`;
$value = `tsscmd command options arguments`;

With the first format (no value returned), you can use the Perl system function.

Both command and options are case-insensitive and can be abbreviated by the shortest unique string. Thus, two statement options named -access and -ascend can be specified as -ACCESS, -ASCEND, -ac, and -as. Similarly, the command DatapoolOpen can be entered as datapoolopen, DATAPOOLOPEN, datapoolO, DATAPOOLo, and so on.
