3–11 Getting Started with ODS
Publication MCD-5.1 -August 1999
For example, while one directory lists AMP parameter files, another
might list PAL source programs, and another might list Projects.
All ODS directories share two common characteristics:
•
One page of a directory can list as many as 66 items. If a
directory contains more than 66 items, it displays on more than
one page. To access the second page of a directory, press the
[
PgDn ] key. To access the previous page, press the [ PgUp ] key.
•
The two ways to select items from a directory are:
- Use the arrow keys to highlight an item, then press [ENTER] .
A highlight appears in the directory when an arrow key is
pressed.
- Type in the name of the item and press [ENTER] . A box for entry
of the item name appears above the directory when a key other
than an arrow key is pressed.
When ODS asks for a file or project name, the name you enter can:
•
contain no more than 8 characters
•
contain letters A-Z and numbers 0-9
•
contain any of these:
! @ # $ % & ( ) – _ { } ’
The system does not accept spaces in the filename. However, you
can use the underscore (__) as a substitute for a space. For example,
the name FILE 1 is illegal, but the name FILE_1 is legal.
If you enter a file or project name that does not meet these
conditions, ODS displays an error message and gives you another
opportunity to enter the name.
