Program Description:

     The PARSE_MODEL command parses an entire subtree of a DFD or an entire
     ASG diagram in a Teamwork database.  The result goes to standard
     output, which can be captured in a file.

Options:
     input         Specifies the input definition file (input.def).  The input
                   definition file defines the parser's environment and
                   is assigned to the INPUT_FILE DPI variable.

     format        Specifies an optional user-defined format file.
                   This value is assigned to the FORMAT DPI variable.

     user          Specifies user-defined variables and commands file.
                   This value is assigned to the USER_FILE DPI variable.

     model         Specifies the name of the model containing the object to be
                   parsed.  This value is assigned to the PM_MODEL DPI
                   variable.

     object        The name of the object to be parsed.  This value is assigned
                   to the PM_STARTING_PROCESS DPI variable.  This option
                   overrides other objects specified in the input definition
                   file. The order of succeeding objects parsed is set in the
                   dfd_format, p_spec_format, and asg_format files.

     section       Specifies a starting section number.  The default is 0.  This
                   value is assigned to the SECTION_NUMBER DPI variable.

     level         Specifies a starting section level.  This value is assigned
                   to the SECTION_LEVEL DPI variable.  The default value
                   is 0.

     current_section
                   The starting object becomes part of the current section.
                   By default, a new subsection is created for starting object.

     font          Specifies either a MONO or PROPORTIONAL spaced font.  The
                   default is proportional.  MONO is illegal with Context format.

     noprefix      The parser does not perform the FORMAT_HEADER action.  The
                   default is to perform the FORMAT_HEADER action.  This option
                   must be used with Context.

     nofooter      The parser does not perform the FORMAT_FOOTER action. This
                   option should be chosen for Context format to supress the
                   END_DOCUMENT output.

     control_flows_off
                   Do not include control flows and C-Specs on a DFD in the
                   formatted output.

     data_flows_off
                   Do not include data flows on a DFD in the formatted output.

     verbose       Print the actions as they are being performed (verbose mode).
                   This is a debugging aid.

     pv            Print the parsers internal information for environment
                   variables.  This is a debugging aid.

     ppi           Print parsed items.  This is a debugging aid.

     help          Shows the full help screen (this information) and quits.  The
                   default location for help files is the "help" directory in
                   the Teamwork product tree.

     syntax        Shows the short help screen (syntax lines only) and quits.

     version       Shows the program header with the version and quits.

     options       Lists the command line options before executing the program.

     arg_input    Indicates more command line options are in the file
                  'path_name'.

     noheader     Suppresses the display of the program header
                  before program execution.

     quiet        Suppresses status messages during program execution.

     ask          Prompts the user for required command line
                  options that are not specified.

     unix         Allows entry of options in Unix format (-example_option).

     vms          Allows entry of options in VMS format (/example_option).

     os2          Allows entry of options in OS/2 format (/example_option).
