Statements, Clauses,
and Commands
An ENFORM session (for any type of query) consists of executing:
Statements the basic query specifications for selecting and formatting items from the
database.
Clauses optional parts of statements that provide added functions to augment the
statements.
Commands that specify operational details for the session.
The preceding components make up an ENFORM query; that is, specifications that
will be executed by ENFORM to select data and produce reports.
The rest of this section shows how to use simple statements, clauses, and commands to
produce ENFORM reports. All of the following examples (and the examples in
Section 4) are based on the files illustrated in Figure 2-6.
