CLF Command Descriptions

Introduction

When developing a PowerCL: CL for Files (CLF)-based application the commands that you can use depend upon the environment that your are creating the application in. The three environments are:

Using a Precompiler
Using Run-time Generation Tools
Using only Run-time Commands

 

Using a CLF precompiler provides you with access to all CLF commands. Using the Run-time Generation Tools provides you with access to all CLF run-time commands plus tools to automate the definition of record layouts, fields, and indicators. When you are not using either a CLF precompiler or the Run-time Generation Tools you can access the run-time commands.

Using a Precompiler

The CLF precompilers support two command styles. One style follows the traditional CL naming convention of a verb (or action) followed by a noun or phrase that identifies the receiver of the action. An example is the CLF Read Record using CLF command READRCDCLF. The second style follows RPG operation code naming conventions. For instance the CLF command CHAIN. When using a precompiler you can freely intermix these two styles within your application program.

When using a precompiler the following traditional CL commands are available to you.

Using Run-time Generation Tools

When using the Run-Time Generation Tools the following commands are available to you.
