Command Usage Chart
The commands which follow the ADD command (REPORT, SHOW, RESEQUENCE,
UPDATE, DELETE, and SECURE) can be used to display or modify entities which have
been ADDed to other entities. For example, these commands can be used to display or
modify an element which has been added to a file. Entities are always added to unlike
entities - that is, an element is added to a file, but an element can not be added to another
element. Hence, REPORT and SHOW can be used to display the association between
unlike entities. Similarly, RESEQUENCE, UPDATE, DELETE, and SECURE are used to
modify the association between unlike entities.
Similarly, the commands which follow the RELATE command (SHOW, REORDER,
CHANGE, and REMOVE) can be used to display or modify entities which have been
RELATEd to other entities. Entities are always related to like entities - for example, a file
can be related to another file, but an element can not be related to a file. Hence, SHOW can
be used to display the relationship between like entities; REORDER, CHANGE, and
REMOVE are used to modify the relationship between like entities.
The commands which follow the CREATE command (REPORT, DISPLAY, LIST,
RENAME, MODIFY, and PURGE) affect the entities themselves. They can be used to
display or modify any entities which have been created, whether they have been added or
related to other entities or not.
