CHKWRD          CHECK WORD                             TAATXTL

The Check  Word  command checks  the spelling  of  a word.   An  escape
message  is  sent if  the  word is  not  in one  of  the specified  TAA
dictionaries.   The  default dictionary  includes about  80,000 English
words, places, proper  names, system words  (eg QCLSRC), TAA words  (eg
ADDDAT), and PRTSEUTXT words (eg PARM1).

A typical command would be:

             CHKWRD       WORD(TARANTULA)

The  default dictionary is  TAADFT which  is made  up of  the following
dictionaries supplied by the TAA Productivity Tools:

   TAATOOL.      The   TAATOOL  dictionary  has  about  80,000  English
                 words.   Also  included are  words that  are  somewhat
                 unique   to  the   IT   industry,  many   geographical
                 locations,  and proper names.   This  differs from the
                 QDCT product.

                 TAATOOL terminology  such  as the  command  names  (eg
                 ADDDAT, HELPTAA, etc) is also included.

   TAA400        The TAA400  dictionary has  words that  are unique  to
                 i5/OS such as RGZPFM and QCLSRC.

   PRTSEUTXT     The   PRTSEUTXT   dictionary   has  words   that   are
                 associated with PRTSEUTXT (TAA tool) such as PRM1.

Entering words
--------------

If  the word  to be  checked is  entered thru  the prompter  or without
surrounding quotes, the  system folds all letters  to upper case and  a
valid word would be successfully checked.

If the word to be checked is entered as:

             CHKWRD   WORD('aX')

the word is not folded and would be considered an error whereas

Words  beginning with capital  letters or  all capitals  are considered
valid.

Thus the following

             ax         Valid
             AX         Valid
             Ax         Valid
             aX         Valid
             'ax'       Valid
             'AX'       Valid
             'Ax'       Valid
             'aX'       Invalid

Only  the characters A-Z are considered.   Non alphabet characters such
as '$', '*', and ')' are ignored  by the spell checker.  This make  the
following types of  entries valid '*ax', '$ax',  '&''o%r', '#9ax', etc.

Digits  are  not  ignored.    A  word  like  'a3x'  or 'ax7'  would  be
considered an error.
