Basic Command Syntax

This section describes the Object Handler direct commands provided for executing Object Handler functions and Workplans of the type PROCEDURE. It also describes the commands used for migrating from the old utility SYSTRANS to the Object Handler.

For explanations of the variable values contained in the syntax diagrams shown in this section, refer to the relevant sections in the Object Handler documentation. For explanations of the symbols used in the syntax diagrams, see System Command Syntax in the System Commands documentation.

EXECUTE (procedure-workplan)

SCAN select-clause [option-setting]

Scans a work file for the objects defined in the select-clause with the options defined in option-setting.

SCANALL [option-setting]

Scans a work file for all objects with the options defined in option-setting.

FIND select-clause [option-setting]

Finds the objects defined in the select-clause with the options defined in option-setting and writes a report of the objects found into Work File 3. In addition, a report of the objects found can be written to Work File 4 or a specified report file.

FINDLIB select-clause [option-setting]

Finds the libraries for Natural objects or Natural command processor sources defined in the select-clause with the options defined in option-setting and writes a report of the objects found into Work File 3. In addition, a report of the objects found can be written to Work File 4 or a specified report file.

DELETE select-clause [option-setting]

Deletes the objects defined in the select-clause with the options defined in option-setting.
Restriction: It is not possible to delete an FDT.

UNDELI select-clause [option-setting]

Unloads delete instructions for the objects defined in the select-clause with the options defined in option-setting.

RESTART [restart-file]

Continues an interrupted load function. This is only possible if information was written to a restart file during the aborted load. Restart load information can be written to Work File 6 or a specified restart file. See also RESTART in the section option-setting (Direct Commands) and Restart Load.

DISPLAY STATISTICS

Displays statistics information about the objects processed.

NATUNLD natunld-direct-command

NATLOAD natload-direct-command

Executes an Object Handler direct command issued in the syntax of the old utility NATLOAD. See also Migration from NATUNLD/NATLOAD and SYSTRANS to the Object Handler.

SYSTRANS systrans-direct-command
