ENABLE Reference Manual

RUNNING ENABLE
ENABLE Commands--Functional Overview
• The name of the record description that describes the file
• The operations (delete, insert, read, or update) that the
application can perform on the file
All of the ENABLE commands that apply to boxes contain an
optional keyword, BOX. When you start ENABLE the default object
type for all commands is APPL. When you enter most commands that
apply to a box, you can either include the keyword BOX or change
the default object type (with the ASSUME command). To maintain
compatibility with a previous version of ENABLE, you can describe
a box even if the object type is APPL.
Table 2-2 summarizes the ENABLE commands and their functions.
