About This Manual
This manual describes Enform Plus, a language/report generator used for information
retrieval. It accesses, sorts, and formats information from a database. Enform Plus can
use the Data Definition Language (DDL) to define data format.
This manual describes the language syntax of Enform Plus, which is an enhancement of
an earlier product, Enform. An earlier manual, the Enform User’s Guide, which
describes the use of Enform in database management, is still valid for use as a
companion to this manual.
The principal differences between Enform Plus and Enform are as follows:
•
Enform Plus supports format 2 files in addition to format 1 files. Format 2 files,
which became available with the G06.00 and D46.00 software releases, provide
larger file and partition sizes and have the potential to exceed the two-gigabyte (less
one megabyte) maximum size of format 1 files.
•
Enform Plus, in date-related activities, uses four-digit year fields to make it
year-2000 compliant.
