ENABLE Reference Manual

RUNNING ENABLE
ENABLE Commands--Usage Overview
When you enter an ADD APPL command, ENABLE assumes that you have
completed your description of the application. ENABLE then
examines the contents of the attribute table to determine that
description. ENABLE evaluates the values in the attribute table
as follows:
• An override value, if present, takes precedence over a current
or starting value.
• A current value, if present, takes precedence over a starting
value.
• If neither an override nor a current value is present, ENABLE
uses the starting value.
If you do not supply either a current or override value, ENABLE
supplies a default value for certain application attributes that
have null starting values. Suppose, for example, that you have
entered the ENABLE commands discussed earlier in this section:
SET RECORD parts
ADD BOX parts-box, DELETE OFF
SET APPL PATHCOMFILE enabpath
ADD APPL parts-in, TREE (01 parts-box)
If you enter these commands, ENABLE supplies the application
name ("parts-in") as a default value for the TITLE attribute.
Figure 2-8 illustrates this process.
