ENABLE Reference Manual

ENABLE COMMANDS
ADD Command
Adding a Single-File Application. To preserve compatibility with
previous versions of ENABLE, a single-file application can be
added based on the current value of the RECORD box attribute.
You do not have to add a box to represent the file or supply a
value for the TREE attribute for a single-file application.
If you do not supply a value for the TREE attribute, ENABLE:
• Appends the characters -BOX to the application name to form a
box name
• Uses (01 <application-name>-BOX ) as the default value of the
TREE attribute
Adding a Multifile Application. Before you can add a multi-file
application, you must:
• Use the ADD BOX command to add every box that
represents a data base file to be accessed by the application
• Use the SET command to set a value for the TREE attribute.
ENABLE uses the value of this attribute to organize the boxes
within the application
Adding a Box. To name and add a box, you must first supply a
value for the RECORD attribute. If you do not supply a value for
the RECORD attribute, ENABLE cannot add the box.
When you generate a multifile application, you must add a box
for every data base file to which the application is to have
access.
ENABLE issues an error message if it cannot add a box. It issues
the following informative message when it adds a box:
Box added: <box-name>
