ENABLE Reference Manual

ENABLE COMMANDS

SET Command

If you supply a current value for an application attribute,

ENABLE uses that value to determine the description of an

application added to the object table (unless you supply an

override value for the same attribute when you enter an ADD

command).

If you supply a current value for a box attribute, ENABLE uses

that value to determine the description of a box added to the

object table (unless you supply an override value for the same

attribute when you enter an ADD command).

Resetting an Attribute. If you use the SET command to set a

value for an attribute, you can use the RESET command to reset

the attribute to its starting value.

The RESET APPL * command resets all box and application

attributes to their starting values. The RESET BOX * command

resets only the box attributes to their starting values.

Overriding a Value Set by a SET Command. If you use the SET

command to supply a current value for an attribute, you can

supply an override value for the same attribute by using the ADD

command. If you supply an override value for an attribute with

the ADD command, you do not change the current value of the

attribute in the attribute table. The override attribute value

applies only to the object you are adding. Refer to Section 2

for more information about override values.

Default Attribute Values. ENABLE supplies a default value for

some box and application attributes if the starting, current, and

override values of these attributes are null (blank). ENABLE

only supplies these default values when adding an object

(application or box) to the object table. ENABLE supplies

default values for the following box and application attributes:

DATAFILE ENABLE uses the name of the file identified in the

record description as the default value of this

attribute. If the record description does not

identify a file name, ENABLE uses the record

description name as the default value of this

attribute.

TITLE ENABLE uses <application-name> as the default value

of the TITLE attribute.
