Parameters

symbol-name

   Specifies a symbol consisting of 1 to 255 alphanumeric
   characters.


prompt-string

   Specifies the prompt to be displayed at the terminal when the
   INQUIRE command is executed. String values are automatically
   converted to uppercase. Also, any leading and trailing spaces and
   tabs are removed, and multiple spaces and tabs between characters
   are compressed to a single space.

   Enclose the prompt in quotation marks (" ")  if it contains
   lowercase characters, punctuation, multiple blanks or tabs, or
   an at sign (@). To denote an actual quotation mark in a prompt-
   string, enclose the entire string in quotation marks and use
   quotation marks (" ")  within the string.

   When the system displays the prompt string at the terminal,
   it generally places a colon (:)  and a space at the end of the
   string. (See the /PUNCTUATION qualifier.)

   If you do not specify a prompt string, the command interpreter
   uses the symbol name to prompt for a value.
