ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method, system, and program for building a list of parameters to include with a command, such as a copy command. A plurality of input parameters is received and a determination is made as to whether a number of the input parameters exceeds a threshold number of parameters that are capable of being included in the command. The content of multiple input parameters is merged into at least one output parameter if the number of input parameters exceeds the threshold number, such that the content of the input parameters is included in a number of output parameters that does not exceed the threshold. The output parameters are then included with the command.
