Examples
In the following example, the program statement performs the command in cmd3 and
sends output to a dynamic array cpt_var:
PERFORM cmd3 CAPTURING cpt_var
In the next example, the program segment executes a variable containing a UniData
command:
LIST.PER = "LIST PERSONNEL WAGETYPE AGE"
PERFORM LIST.PER
In the next example, the EXECUTE statement creates a record ID list using the
SELECT statement. The select list is then used to read records from the file.
EXECUTE 'SELECT CLIENTS WITH COUNTRY = "Canada"'
EXECUTE "SAVE.LIST 'canadians'"
OPEN 'CLIENTS' TO CLIENT.FILE ELSE ABORT
GETLIST 'canadians' SETTING LIST.CNT
ELSE PRINT CLIENT:" SAVEDLISTS ID ‘canadians’ CANNOT BE
FOUND";STOP
PRINT @(-1)
FOR I = 1 TO 22
READNEXT ID ELSE EXIT
READ REC FROM CLIENT.FILE, ID THEN
PRINT @(5,I):REC:@(20,I):REC
END ELSE
PRINT "CANNOT FIND RECORD":ID
END
NEXT I
CLEARSELECT
END
In the next example, the program segment executes a paragraph from within a
UniBasic program using the EXECUTE statement:
PARA = "PA":@AM:"DISPLAY HELLO"
EXECUTE PARA
This paragraph displays the word HELLO on the terminal screen.
EXECUTE 1-269
