LIB Command Prompts

If you do not specify all expected input on the command line and do not end the line with a semicolon, LIB asks you for the missing input by displaying four prompts. LIB waits for you to respond to each prompt and then prompts for the next input. The responses you give to the LIB command prompts correspond to the fields on the LIB command line. The following list shows these correspondences:

Library name: oldlibrary [[options]]

Operations: commands

List file: listfile

Output library: newlibrary

You can select default responses to the remaining prompts at any time by typing a single semicolon (;) followed immediately by a carriage return. The defaults for prompts are the same as the defaults for the corresponding command-line fields.

The following example specifies THIRD as the output library-file name at the prompt:

Output library: THIRD
