If you want the text separated from the original sentence by a blank, put at least two blanks before text. .A Parameters

DescriptionThe .A command does not execute the newly created sentence. It just changes the sentence in the sentence stack. You can execute the changed sentence, or you can save it using sentence stack commands.

ExampleSentence 1 in the stack is as follows:01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95

Add the following text. Notice that there are two spaces before AND.>.A AND AMT.PD < 10

1-11


The new sentence now looks like this:01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 AND AMT.PD < 10

1-12



.CUse .C (Change) to change a sentence in the sentence stack. This command is useful if you make a mistake typing the original sentence or if you want to execute a sentence that is only partially different from the original sentence.

Syntax.C [ n ] /string1/string2 [ / [ G ] ]

1-13


ParametersParameter Description

n

Specifies the line number of the sentence in the stack where text is to be changed. If you do not include the line number, the text in sentence 1 is changed. The sequence of characters you want to change in the original sentence. The string of characters that you want to replace string1. If string2 is an empty string, string1 is deleted from the original sentence. A delimiter put before string1, string2, and the optional G. The delimiter can be any of the following, but you must be consistent within a single command (see the examples): ! / ( ` @ \ ) # : { . $ = } | % + [ " & ] , * ?

string1 string2

/

G

Changes every occurrence of string1 in the sentence to string2. If you do not specify G, only the first occurrence of string1 is changed..C Parameters

DescriptionThe .C command does not execute the newly created sentence. You execute or save the changed sentence using sentence stack commands.

ExampleSentence 1 in the stack is as follows: 01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/951-14 UniVerse User Reference


To change the month to November, enter the following: >.C:1/1/95:11/1/95: Notice that colons delimit the old and new dates because the dates contain slashes. The new sentence is as follows: 01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 11/1/95

.DUse .D (Delete) to delete a sentence from the sentence stack or to delete a sentence or paragraph from the VOC file.

Syntax.D [ n | name ]

ParametersParameter n name Description Specifies the line number of the sentence in the stack is to be deleted. If you do not include the line number, sentence 1 is deleted. The name of the VOC file entry for the sentence or paragraph you want to delete. If the VOC file entry is not a sentence or paragraph name, the .D command issues an error message and does not delete the entry. .D Parameters

DescriptionBefore deleting a stored sentence or paragraph, you can examine the contents of the sentence or paragraph using the .L (List) command.

ExampleThere are two sentences in the stack:>.L 02 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94

Delete sentence 1 by entering the following:>.D



The stack now contains this sentence:01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95

.IUse .I (Insert) to insert a new sentence into the sentence stack. This feature is useful for building paragraphs because you can add a sentence to those already in the sentence stack.

Syntax.I [ n ] text

ParametersThe following table describes each parameter of the syntax.Parameter n Description Specifies the number of the new sentence in the sentence stack. The sentence numbers greater than or equal to n increase by one. If you do not include the sentence number, the sentence is inserted as sentence 1. The sentence you want to insert in the sentence stack. .I Parameters

text

ExampleThe existing stack contains the following:02 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94

Insert the following:>.I2 LIST PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 100

The new stack looks like this:03 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 02 LIST PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 100 01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94



.LUse .L (List) to list the sentences in the sentence stack or to list the contents of a VOC file entry.

Syntax.L [ n | name ]

ParametersThe following table describes each parameter of the syntax.Parameter n name Description The number of sentences to display. The number can be from 1 through 99. The name of any VOC file entry to be displayed. This command is useful for verifying the contents of a sentence or paragraph before executing it. .L Parameters

DescriptionIf you do not specify n, sentences 1 through 20 are displayed. If you choose a number greater than 22, the first 23 sentences are displayed followed by the message:Press any key to continue...

When you press any key but Q, the next 23 sentences are displayed. This continues until all the sentences you requested have been displayed, or until you press Q to quit.

ExamplesTo list the three most recent sentences, enter the following:>.L3 03 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 02 LIST PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 100 01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94

To list the contents of a stored sentence called MONTH, enter the following:>.L MONTH MONTH 001 S 002 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94

1-20



.RUse .R (Recall) to recall a sentence in the sentence stack or a sentence or paragraph stored in the VOC file.

Syntax.R [ n | name ]

ParametersParameter n Description Specifies the line number of the sentence to recall. The number can be from 1 through 99. If you do not include a number, sentence 1 is redisplayed. The name of the sentence or paragraph. The named sentence or paragraph is inserted in the sentence stack. .R Parameters

name

DescriptionWhen you recall a sentence, you copy it to sentence 1 in the sentence stack. When you recall a paragraph, you copy the sentences in the paragraph to the first n sentences in the sentence stack, where n is the number of sentences in the paragraph. The .R command does not execute the newly created sentence. It just changes the sentence in the sentence stack. You can execute the changed sentence or you can save it using sentence stack commands. If you want to change a stored sentence or paragraph before executing it, use .R to insert the sentence or paragraph into the sentence stack. Once the sentence or paragraph is in the sentence stack, you can use any of the sentence stack commands to change it before executing it.

1-21


ExamplesThe existing stack looks like this:03 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 02 LIST PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 100 01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94

To recall sentence 3, enter the following:>.R3

The stack looks like this:04 03 02 01 LIST LIST LIST LIST PAYABLES PAYABLES PAYABLES PAYABLES WITH WITH WITH WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 AMT.DUE > 100 PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94 PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95

To recall a stored sentence named LISTME, enter the following:>.R LISTME

The stack now looks like this:05 04 03 02 01 LIST PAYABLES LIST PAYABLES LIST PAYABLES LIST PAYABLES STATUS ME WITH WITH WITH WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 AMT.DUE > 100 PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94 PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95

.SUse .S (Save) to save a sentence or paragraph as an entry in the VOC file.

Syntax.S name [ start [ end ] ]

ParametersThe following table describes each parameter of the syntax.Parameter name start end Description The name of the entry in the VOC file. When you later execute or recall the sentence or paragraph, use this name. The number of the first sentence you want to save. If you do not specify start, sentence 1 is saved. The number of the last sentence you want to save. When you specify end, all sentences from start through end are saved as a paragraph. If end is the same as start, just that sentence is saved. .S Parameters

DescriptionYou can specify start and end either in ascending or in descending order. The .S command always saves a range of sentences in descending order from oldest to newest. If a VOC entry with the same name and a type of sentence or paragraph already exists, the .S command displays this prompt:Enter Option: O)Overwrite, N)Choose a New Name, A)Abort?

Enter the letter O to overwrite the VOC entry, enter N to rename the new VOC entry, or enter A to abort the .S command. If the VOC entry exists and is a type other than sentence or paragraph, the .S command issues an error message and prompts you for a new name.1-23


ExampleThe existing stack looks like this:05 04 03 02 01 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 SELECT PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 100 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 LIST PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 10 NAME DUE.DATE

Save lines 4 and 3 as a paragraph called PAYMENTS.DUE by entering the following:>.S PAYMENTS.DUE 4 3

List the paragraph PAYMENTS.DUE by entering the following:>.L PAYMENTS.DUE

This displays the following:PAYMENTS.DUE 001 PA saved on 10:34:12 FEB 23 1995 by JONES 002 SELECT PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 100 003 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94

The order of the sentences is the same in the sentence stack and the paragraph, but the numbering is different. The paragraph numbering indicates the order in which the paragraph executes the commands.

.UUse .U (Uppercase) to convert a sentence from lowercase to uppercase.

Syntax.U [ n ]

ParametersThe following table describes each parameter of the syntax.Parameter n Description Specifies the number of the sentence to be converted to uppercase. If you do not specify n, sentence 1 is converted. .U Parameters

ExampleSentence 4 looks like this:04 select payables with amt.due > 100

Convert sentence 4 by entering the following:>.U4

Now it looks like this:04 SELECT PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 100

.XUse .X (eXecute) to execute a sentence in the sentence stack.

Syntax.X [ n ]

ParametersThe following table describes each parameter of the syntax.Parameter n Description Specifies the number of the sentence to be executed. If you do not specify n, sentence 1 is executed. .X Parameters

DescriptionWhen you execute a sentence other than sentence 1, the command processor first copies it to sentence 1 and then executes it.

ExampleThe existing stack looks like this:04 03 02 01 SELECT PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 100 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 LIST PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 10 NAME DUE.DATE

Execute sentence 3 by entering the following:>.X3



Now the stack looks like this:05 04 03 02 01 SELECT PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 100 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94 LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 1/1/95 LIST PAYABLES WITH AMT.DUE > 10 NAME DUE.DATE LIST PAYABLES WITH PYMT.DATE >= 12/1/94

.?Use ? (question mark) at the end of a sentence to save the sentence in the sentence stack without executing it.

Syntax?

DescriptionIf you are typing a sentence and you notice you made a typing mistake before completing the sentence, you can save the sentence in the stack without executing it. Because the sentence has been saved in the sentence stack, you do not have to retype the entire sentence. Instead, you can correct the mistake using .C and then execute the sentence. You can also use ? to enter paragraph control statements into the sentence stack before using a .S command to save the paragraph.

ExampleType ? at the end of a sentence that contains an error:>SORT PAYABLES BY VENDOR BYSTATE?

Change the sentence that has been saved in the sentence stack:>.C/YS/Y S/ 01 SORT PAYABLES BY VENDOR BY STATE

Execute the corrected sentence:>.X

*Use * (asterisk) in a paragraph to indicate that the following text is a comment.

Syntax* [ comment ]

ParametersThe following table describes each parameter of the syntax.Parameter comment Description The text of the comment. * Parameters

DescriptionThe comment does not affect the operation of the sentences in the paragraph. A comment line must contain at least one space character after the asterisk ( * ) to distinguish it from a cataloged BASIC program name. You can enter comments at the UniVerse command prompt ( > ) as well as in paragraphs, which is helpful if you are using a COMO file and want to comment on something for later reference. For information about COMO files, see the COMO command. You can include inline prompts in comment lines. Inline prompts in comment lines are processed and displayed as usual. For information about inline prompts, see the command.
