- Yes and the reason is that VMS thinks that /parameter1 and /parameter2
- is a qualifier to the command procedure (compare /OUTPUT which at the
- moment is the only qualifier available). To transmit parameters
- untouched you must enclosed them by quotationmark ("). In your case:
-
- $ @t.com "/parameter1" "/parameter2"
-
- Note also that no upcase translations is done either.
