Strategy One
Mainstream support for legacy tools such as Developer, Command Manager, and Object Manager is set to end December 2026. Strategy suggests that you upgrade to Workstation to maintain continuity and utilize modern capabilities. For more information on functional parity between these tools and Workstation, see the Workstation vs Legacy Tools Feature Parity dashboard.
Symbols
In Command Manager statements, the following symbols are treated as tokens. These symbols have the following effects in a script:
-
The semicolon (;) indicates the end of a script statement.
-
The double quote (") and the single quote (') are used to enclose identifiers. For example, in the statement LIST MEMBERS FOR USER GROUP "System Administrators"; the phrase System Administrators is an identifier.
-
The comma ( ,) separates items in a list. For example, in the statement GRANT SCHEDULEREQUEST, USEOBJECTMANAGER TO USER Developer; the commas separate the privileges being granted.
-
The caret (^) functions as an escape character. It causes any other special character that follows it to be treated literally and not interpreted as a special character.
In addition, the colon (:) and slash (/) symbols are not tokens, but are used to separate values in time and date tokens.
