Layers ON

PARAMETER	LAYERS_ON or LON
Purpose	This parameter set the layers only that will be processed. If any layers are listed, then when it is processing entities but not any other function, it will check the layer to see if it is on the list defined by -lon. If it is, then it processes like normal. If it is not on the list, then it is skipped.
Example	-LON=“Mylayer1;Mylayer2”
