To enable OPS to recognize an infile command, the line (record) must start with the command prefix. The default prefix is:


          )ops

Following the command prefix, OPS recognizes the rest of the line as an OPS command. For example, to make the color red, include the following line in the infile:


          )ops color red

A sample of an infile might look like this:

__________________________________________________________________________________ | | | | | | | This infile to OPS contains mainly free text like | | this line, and several others. | | But the next line is a command line to OPS. | | )ops color yellow | | This line is just more text. When the file is viewed with | | OPS, this section will appear in yellow. | | )ops color red | | And this line will be red | | | | | |__________________________________________________________________________________|

The command prefix, like command words and keywords, can be entered in any mixture of uppercase and lowercase.

There are two rules controlling where you can put your infile commands:

You cannot place the command prefix in column 1 if the file has any control characters in this column (it usually has).
You cannot place the command prefix in column 2 if the file has a table reference code in this column.
