<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Navigation:  Reference > RCPs > Run control Parameter overview

The RCPs may be specified either in the Control Stage (between START CONTROL and FINISH CONTROL) or on the command line (the instruction to the operating system that invokes CL).

The RCPs may appear in any order.

No RCP may appear twice unless this is stated in the description following and no conflicting RCPs may appear.

Different RCPs take effect at different steps, and if significant information is missing for a requested step, CL prompts you to supply the missing data.

Comments (beginning with exclamation mark !) may appear anywhere in the Control Stage, and may also appear before START CONTROL.

RCPs used in a run are listed at the beginning of the Log file.
