Entering Multiple
Parameters
When a command has more than one parameter, you can enter them all
on the same command line with blanks in between or you can enter
some or all of them on separate command lines. If you do not enter them
all on one line, you are repeatedly prompted for the remaining
parameters.
If you enter an illegal character or string (such as an out-of-range
parameter), the LMA display responds with an error message which is
indicated by a three-asterisk (***) prefix.
