The POSITION Field

Defines the parameter position on the command line at which values for this parameter may be given.

There are a limited number (See Appendix [*]) of command line positions available to be allocated. Not every parameter need be allocated a position, but the positions allocated must form a contiguous set starting at 1. Each position may have only one parameter allocated to it.

Note that, for ADAM I-tasks, the POSITION field may be overridden by an individual action NEEDS list (see the ACTION specification, Section [*]).

The field is of the form:

POSITION n
where n is an integer constant which specifies the allocated position.

If the POSITION field is omitted, no command line position is allocated to this parameter.
