Continuing a Command to the Next Line
These examples illustrate the use of quotation marks:
<=SET TITLE February
<=SET TITLE 'December 16, 1991'
<=SET TITLE "Operation's Activities"
Continuing a Command to the Next Line
To continue a command to the next line, end the first line with an ampersand (&). This
example shows one line continued over two lines:
<=SET PAGE SIZE 55 ; SET START TIME 91/12/16 ; SET END &
<=&TIME 91/12/18
SAFEART displays an ampersand at the beginning of the second line to indicate that it
is a continuation of the previous line.
Where you place the ampersand is important because the ampersand is not replaced
with a space. Continuing the line in this way is invalid:
<=SET PAGE SIZE 55 ; SET START TIME 91/12/16 ; SET END&
<=&TIME 91/12/18
It results in a SET command with a syntax error:
SET ENDTIME 91/12/18
Entering More Than One Command on a Line
To enter more than one command on a line, separate them with semicolons. This
example shows two commands on one line:
<=SET START TIME 91/12/16 ; SET END TIME 91/12/18
Abbreviating Commands
You can abbreviate command names and keywords to the first three letters. Consider
this command:
<=SET DESTINATION FILE OCT28AUD
You can abbreviate it as:
<=SET DES FIL OCT28AUD
Including Comments
You can place comments on a line of their own or at the end of a command line.
Comments begin with two hyphens. Everything after the two hyphens to the end of the
