?SOURCE Command

The ?SOURCE command reads an Edit-format file or a collection of commands and

statements within an Edit-format file. The syntax of the ?SOURCE command is:

edit-filename

is the name of the Edit-format file containing an Enform Plus query.

( section-name , ...)

is a list of the names of the sections of the Edit-format file; section-name must

be enclosed with parentheses.

The ?SOURCE command can be used to read in an Edit-format file or a collection of

commands and/or statements within an Edit-format file. When a ?SOURCE command is

entered, the specified commands or statements are read in just as if they had been

entered a line at a time. ?SOURCE commands can be nested up to a depth of four.

If both the edit-filename and section-name are specified, that specific

collection of commands and statements of the Edit-format file is read in. If only the

edit-filename is specified, the entire Edit-format file is read in.

Issuing the ?SOURCE command does not set the default Edit-format file name for

subsequent ?RUN or ?EDIT commands.
