[PE-D][Tester D] IC_NUMBER parameter invalid reordering

[soc-se-bot]

Current Behaviour

Reordering the parameters of addnote gives an error message.

Expected Behaviour

Reordering the parameters of addnote should not give an error message.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enter addnote n\text to add S1234567A

2. An error message appears IC number should start with one letter (S,T,F,G,M) followed by seven digits and one letter behind. It is case insensitive. An example is S1234567A.

Why this is an issue

According to the user guide:

1. Parameters can be in any order.
2. Words in UPPER_CASE are the parameters to be supplied by the user.
3. The format of add note is addnote IC_NUMBER n\NOTE [-replace]

Since IC_NUMBER is in upper case, it is a parameter by statement 2.

And parameters can be in any order, by statement 1.

So, by reordering the parameters, addnote n\NOTE IC_NUMBER should also be a valid format.

So the behaviour does not work as expected.

Suggested change

Update the user guide that the parameter IC_NUMBER without i\ must be in a specified order.
