# Options (TCL)

The print (p and no pause (n options are the only standard options available to every TCL command.

Note: Options are special characters that alter the normal
effect of a TCL command.

Options always display at the end
of a TCL command and must be preceded by a left parenthesis. Commas
(,) are optional between the parameters. This rule does not, however,
apply to spooler, dump, and where commands.

## Syntax

```
tcl.commands...(n
tcl.commands...(p
```

## Parameter(s)

| options | n | Activates the nopause function on output to the terminal. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| p | Directs output to the system printer via the spooler. | |

## Example(s)

```
copy dm,bp, term-type (p

```
