106126 Tandem Computers Incorporated 2–1
Core statements in an NCL procedure cause an action to occur. The action can change
the structure and flow of an NCL procedure. You can use core statements in any part
of a procedure.
This section describes all core statements in NCL. The full description of each
statement contains:
A brief overview of what the statement does.
A diagram showing the syntax of the statement.
Descriptions of each operand of the statement.
Considerations affecting the use of the statement.
A list of related statements, verbs, or other NCL components.
At least one example of the use of the statement. Null strings are indicated in
examples by two single quote characters together (‘‘). The purpose of the
examples is to show the correct method of coding the core statement. Some
examples include a complete NCL procedure.
For help in understanding syntax notation, see “Notation Conventions” at the
beginning of this manual.
