kinds of parameters: required parameter and optional parameter.

The parameters can
be in any order.
Function key F11 is
very useful.

2 - CL Positional Notation
When parameter values
are entered by position, they must be entered in the order in which they
are specified within the command syntax.
The F4 prompt lists
the parameters in sequence.
Example: DSPMSG userlib/userid
Combination of keyword
and positional notation
The position parameters
must occur first, once keyword notation is used, positional notation is
no longer valid, and any additional parameters must be specified in keyword
notation.
Example: DSPMSG userlib/userid OUTPUT(*)
