alias_name SET parameter_name=value

This function initializes or reinitializes the current value of the DDTT keyword parameter_name to the string value. Any previous value is erased. Multiple keyword parameters may be set in one DDTT SET command. Separate each parameter equate with white space. All keyword parameters are associated with the specified alias_name.

A keyword parameter_name need not exist or be expected; no warning or error is generated if a SET command is performed on a nonexistent parameter_name. The parameter_name will exist after executing the SET command.

Type checking of values for parameter_names is not performed with the SET command, instead, type checking is done when DDTT invokes the device function.
