# Editor Command Line

The editor command line is indicated by Command = = =>. In the command line, you can enter one of the following:

- Any Natural system command.

  For example: The system command `CHECK` can be used for checking the syntax of source code and `SAVE` for saving source code (see also Saving and Cataloging Sources).

  For other system commands related to maintaining and using object sources, see Managing Applications with Natural Objects in the System Commands documentation.

- An editor command (see Editor Commands and Editor Commands for Scrolling).

- The name of a Natural program to be executed.

Additionally, the command line contains the following information (from left to right):

- #### Mode

  The programming mode: structured (`Struct`) or reporting (`Report`) currently in effect. When a Natural object is read into the source work area, the mode is set to the one which was in effect when the object was saved (see also Saving and Cataloging Sources).

  For information on the differences between structured and reporting mode, see Purpose of Programming Modes in the Programming Guide.

  To switch from reporting to structured mode or vice versa, enter an `S` in the first position of `Report` or an `R` in the first position of `Struct` and press ENTER.

  If you want to check whether structured mode has been activated or switch structured mode on, you can also set the programming mode for the current Natural session as described in Setting/Changing the Programming Mode in the Programming Guide.

- #### Lib

  The library to which you are currently logged on.
