Function Commands

Function commands provide access to any system function from any screen and bypass the menu hierarchy.

To issue a function command

Enter the command in the command line with an object-type parameter followed by parameters for selecting the object.

The command format is:
```
COMMAND object-type [object-name [further-parameters]]
```
Press Enter.

If you issue a function command without any parameters, the system prompts you with a selection window. For further information, see Selection Windows and Asterisk Selection Facility in section Using Entire Event Management.

The function command descriptions below are sorted in alphabetical order by their names.
