6.2.3 Command line coding conventions

The following rules apply to writing command lines:

• Delimit multiple parameters with a space.

• To specify a parameter containing a space that is not a delimiter, enclose the entire parameter with double quotation marks (").

• A maximum of 245 parameters can be set in a command line. Parameters exceeding this maximum are ignored.

• A maximum of 1,024 one-byte characters can be specified for a parameter. Characters exceeding this maximum are ignored.

The first two of these rules also apply when calling an executable file other than a script file from the Exec or NetExec command.
