NC Option to DSEE Commands:

-nc

Suppresses a command's requests for commentary.

Format

-nc

Description

Some DSEE commands, such as reserve and create branch,  display  edit  panes  in
which  you  supply  information  about the operation you're performing.  The -nc
option suppresses this action.  When you issue one of these commands  with  -nc,
the DSEE facility doesn't display an edit pane.  In some cases (for example, for
reserve and replace), the facility uses "seeded" comments instead, if  they  are
available.  Seeded comments consist of the  name of the current task along  with
user comments entered during an earlier operation on the target  object.   (Note
that there are no seeded comments for  the create library, create branch, create
element, and create system commands.)

The -nc option differs from the  -nq  option  by  suppressing  only  edit  panes
displayed  by  commands.    The -nq option suppresses both edit pane display and
requests for yes or no answers.

While you can issue any DSEE command with the -nc option,  only  those  commands
that, by default, display edit panes are affected by the option.
