ENABLE Reference Manual

RUNNING ENABLE
ENABLE Commands--Usage Overview
Suppose, for example, that you have entered the ENABLE commands
described earlier in this section:
SET RECORD parts
ADD BOX parts-box, DELETE OFF
Figure 2-3 showed the contents of the attribute table after these
commands are entered. Since the preceding commands do not supply
a value for the DATAFILE attribute, ENABLE will obtain the
"parts" record description and enter the file name ("parts")
identified in that record description as the default value of the
DATAFILE attribute. Figure 2-4 illustrates this process.

Figure 2-4. Default Value for a Box Attribute
Note that ENABLE supplies a default value at the same time that
it enters an override value in the attribute table. After ENABLE
has supplied any default values, it adds the box to the object
table. This process is discussed later in this section under
"ADDING AN OBJECT."
