Assigns the TCL statement delimiter. By default, the ESC character is used as the TCL statement delimiter for entering multiple TCL statements on a line. Use the .Z command to change this delimiter to any other ASCII character.
Format
|
.Zn [(A | process)] |
Parameter(s)
|
n |
The ASCII character to be used as a TCL statement delimiter. |
|
A |
Changes the TCL statement delimiter for all users. You must have SYS2 privileges to use this option. |
|
process |
Changes the TCL statement delimiter for the specified process. You must have SYS2 privileges to use this option. |
Once this parameter has been changed, the new statement delimiter remains in effect until you (or another privileged user) change the statement delimiter to a different ASCII character.

You could now enter multiple commands on the same line by separating them with an asterisk, as in this example:
