named arguments

By default, you must enter the arguments for a Reflection command in the same order as shown in the syntax statement at the top of the reference topic for the command. You can use named arguments if you want to reorder the arguments or omit optional arguments. A named argument consists of a token to identify an argument, followed by a colon and an equal sign, and then the value for the argument.

For example, the OpenSettings method takes two arguments:

OpenSettings SettingsType, Filename

Using standard syntax, the SettingsType argument must always be given first. For example:

.OpenSettings rcSettings, "c:\settings.rsf"

Using tokens derived from the syntax line for OpenSettings, you can modify this command to use named arguments:

.OpenSettings SettingsType:= rcSettings, Filename:= "c:\settings.rsf"
