Syntax
ZOMExec object specification [option…]
Options
| ;k | The ;k option is used to assign a keyword to the selected object(s). If the keyword is already assigned, this assignment is ignored. If “!” is specified, the keyword assignment is removed for the object(s). |
| ;p | Set the specified user-designated property for the selected object(s). If “!” is indicated, the specified property is reset for the selected object(s). |
| ;d | This specifies that the output is to be written to the indicated document. The document must be already created. If the ;d option is omitted, it indicates that the output is to be written to the screen. |
| ;a | If a document name is specified, the ;a option indicates that the output is to be appended to the end of the document. If the ;a option is omitted, it indicates that the output is to replace the contents of the document specified in ;d option. |
| ;b | If a document name is specified, the ;b option indicates that you would like to browse the document file after the action is completed. The ;b option does not take effect if the ;d option was not used to specify an output document. |
| ;w | If a document name was not specified, the ;w option sets pause on while the information is being listed to the screen. The ;w option does not take effect if output is directed to a document using the ;d option. |
| ;q | The name of a query program created using the DPSMakeQuery command. |
