The SQLCI Command
The SQLCI Command
The SQLCI command is a TACL implied run command that starts an SQLCI session. In
the OSS environment, you can invoke the SQLCI command by preceding it with the
gtacl command. For more information about SQLCI and OSS, see Considerations—
SQLCI on page S-63.
IN in-file
specifies the file from which SQLCI reads your commands; in-file is a valid
Guardian name for a local or remote file. You can specify a disk file, a device such
as a terminal, or a process. If you do not specify an IN file, SQLCI uses the same IN
file as the command interpreter—usually the home terminal.
OUT list-file
specifies the file to which SQLCI writes or displays prompts, messages, listings of
data, and so forth; list-file is a valid Guardian name for a local or remote file.
You can specify a disk file, terminal, process, magnetic tape, line printer, or spooler
collector. If you do not specify an OUT file, SQLCI uses the same OUT file as the
command interpreter—usually the home terminal.
If an existing file contains data, SQLCI appends its output to the existing
information.
NOWAIT
specifies that the command interpreter should not wait while SQLCI runs, but it
should return a command input prompt after sending the startup message to SQLCI.
If you omit this option, the command interpreter pauses while SQLCI runs.
Layout Options Options set by the SET LAYOUT command that define the layout of
information displayed after a SELECT
Style Options Options set by the SET STYLE command that determine the style of
report elements such as date and time formats and the underline
character
Parameters Parameter values set by the SET PARAM command to substitute for
parameter names when a command or statement executes
Prepared Commands Commands compiled during an SQLCI session for execution later in
the session
Report Commands Report formatting commands and the most recent SELECT command
entered. SQLCI saves these commands automatically during your
session. You can display, delete, or fix and reexecute these commands
with SHOW, RESET, or FC.
