Using the ?HELP
Command
ENFORM displays the syntax of statements, clauses, and commands when you enter
the ?HELP command. Using the ?HELP command is particularly useful during an
interactive session when you want to refresh your memory about how to specify a
particular ENFORM language element. To use the ?HELP command, simply enter
“?HELP”. ENFORM responds by displaying a list of the elements for which help is
available.
To obtain the syntax of a particular element on this list, enter the ?HELP command
followed by the element name. For example, suppose you have forgotten the syntax
used to specify the FIND statement. If you enter:
>?HELP FIND
ENFORM displays the following:
The FIND statement has the following form:
FIND [ UNIQUE ] output-record-name
(
