Execute Command - Tandem ENFORM 058057 Reference Manual

Commands

?EXECUTE Command

?EXECUTE Command
The ?EXECUTE command executes a compiled query file. The syntax of the
?EXECUTE command is:
?EXECUTE compiled-physical-filename
compiled-physical-filename
is the name of the physical file containing the stored compiled query.
The ?EXECUTE command resets the internal table to the same state that existed at time
of compilation. The ?EXECUTE command changes the dictionary being used for the
duration of the execution. Internal table information from the compiled query file is
used until execution terminates, then ENFORM uses the dictionary specified before
you entered the ?EXECUTE command.
If the stored compiled query requires a parameter value passed to it during execution,
the Command Interpreter PARAM command can be issued prior to executing the
query. For information on the PARAM command, refer to the GUARDIAN Operating
System User's Guide.
The ?EXECUTE command only accepts a physical file with a file code of 888.
ENFORM assigns a file code of 888 when it creates a compiled query file.
