#INCLUDE

Panel Control Statements

6–24 106126 Tandem Computers Incorporated

#INCLUDE The #INCLUDE panel control statement specifies a panel name as a source of panel

statements. The source from the included panel is merged with the including panel

when the panel is invoked by an NCL procedure.

#INCLUDE

panelname

specifies the name of a source panel.

Considerations

This statement can occur anywhere in a panel.

panelname

cannot be substituted.

An #INCLUDE statement that is the result of preparsing is treated as ordinary

data.

If the syntax of the #INCLUDE statement is incorrect, it is treated as ordinary data.

panelname

must exist in the same panel library as the panel description file that

uses it.

panelname

does not exist, or has already been included recursively, the panel

display fails.

For further information on the #INCLUDE panel control statement, refer to the

NonStop NET/MASTER NCL Programmer’s Guide. It contains many examples of

panel description files and displays. This guide also discusses the differences

between asynchronous and synchronous panel types.

See the PANEL verb in Section 3, “Verbs,” for a table that summarizes return code

values when displaying panels. For a detailed discussion of these codes (returned

in the &SYS.RETCODE system variable), refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER NCL

Programmer’s Guide.
