The format for DSE commands is:

        DSE> command [-qualifier[...]] [object[,...]]
        

DSE interprets all numeric input as hexadecimal, except for time values, the -BLK_SIZE=, -KEY_MAX_SIZE=, -RECORD_MAX_SIZE, -REFERENCE_COUNT=, -TIMERS PENDING, and -WRITES_PER_FLUSH on CHANGE -FILEHEADER, and -VERSION=, on the REMOVE and RESTORE commands. This convention corresponds to the displays provided by DSE and by MUPIP INTEG.
