The DEFINE/COMMAND command associates a symbol name with a PCA
command string. The command string consists of one or more PCA
commands separated by semicolons, and must end with a partial or
full PCA command. When the symbol name appears at the start of a
subsequent PCA command, it is replaced by the command string. The
resulting string is parsed and executed by PCA. DEFINE/COMMAND
thus gives you the same command abbreviation capability as the
symbol assignment statement (symbol-name := command-string) in
DCL. The command string may contain previously defined commands,
when those symbols translate directly into PCA commands. (PCA
supports one level of symbol translation.)
To display the current symbol definitions created by
DEFINE/COMMAND, use the SHOW SYMBOL/DEFINED command.
