DefineData (procedure)

Change the active data file to the one specified in the path parameter.

Changing the data file in the middle of document processing can have unexpected consequences and should only be

used if you understand the implications of doing so.

Syntax

definedata( path )

Argument

path

String value specifying the path of the data file.

DoForm (procedure)

Runs the current document. This command is usually issued once a complete data page has been received and committed to

buffer. This command should only be used before reading the next page of data from the input stream. It is strictly for use

within a User-Define Emulation.

Syntax

doform()

Argument

None

Code Sample Example

This example is an extract from a user-defined emulation. The search() command looks for a formfeed and adds its line

number. The line number is stored as a string and the document is run. The data page is cleared and the search is over.

Example

search(&str,'\014')

set(&current.line,&current.line + 1)

store(&current.line,&str)
