Mnemonic Code

A mnemonic code is associated with a program option, and it can be entered on a command line to directly access the corresponding conversation.  A new or changed mnemonic code does not become active until Fast Path Generation is run. This field specifies secondary mnemonic codes associated with the option which may be used instead of the primary mnemonic code.  The following validation is performed: 

• The mnemonic code must not be all nines, and cannot be numeric.
• This field must be blank if the option type is group.
• This field cannot contain a slash or a comma.
• This field must be left-justified.  No leading blanks are allowed.
• The mnemonic code must be unique.  It must not be assigned to another option number on the Option Master File.
