in alphabetic order.
Enform Plus clauses are components of statements. They provide additional
specifications of the Enform Plus program to be performed. Most of the Enform Plus
clauses remain in effect only for the query associated with the LIST or FIND statement
of which they are a part.

features such as headings, titles, summary information, and special formatting. The
following clauses are applicable only to Enform Plus programs with a LIST statement
