6 Commands
058057 Tandem Computers Incorporated
6–1
This section contains a complete description of the syntax of the ENFORM commands.
The commands are arranged in alphabetical order.
ENFORM commands are compiler directives that instruct the ENFORM
compiler/report writer to perform a specific operation. The compiler/report writer
recognizes a command by the presence of a question mark in column 1. You can either
enter commands at the level of the ENFORM prompt (>) or place commands in an
EDIT file. ENFORM executes commands in an EDIT file as if they were entered
interactively with one exception: ENFORM ignores a ?RUN command in an EDIT file.
The following commands are not saved in a compiled query file (created by the
?COMPILE command): ?ATTACH, ?COMPILE, ?EDIT, ?EXECUTE, ?EXIT, ?, ?OUT,
?RUN, ?SECTION, ?SHOW, ?SOURCE. For this reason, these commands cannot be
used:
Through the host language interface (described in the ENFORM User’s Guide). The
host language interface requires a compiled query file.
When you specify the ?EXECUTE command. The ?EXECUTE command can only
be used with a compiled query file.
If the filename specified in the IN option of the ENFORM command is a compiled
query file.
Table 6-1 shows the ENFORM commands and their functions.
