FILE Subcommand (POINT command)

FILE specifies a file handle for the keyed data file. The file handle must have been previously defined on a FILE HANDLE command.

  • FILE is optional.
  • If FILE is omitted, POINT reads from the last file that is specified on an input command, such as DATA LIST.

Example

FILE HANDLE DRIVERS/ file specifications.
POINT FILE=DRIVERS /KEY=#NXTCASE.
  • FILE HANDLE specifies DRIVERS as the file handle for the data. The FILE subcommand on POINT specifies file handle DRIVERS.
