Interface differences

Each QMF interface supports a slightly different list of procedure commands and procedure command parameters.

Users should take these differences into consideration if they are writing procedures using one interface and plan on running the procedure using a different interface. Some commands and parameters will run on one interface and will not run using another interface. Each interface documents the commands and parameters that are currently supported.

Typically, when an unsupported procedure command is encountered, the interface will issue an error message and stop running the procedure.

In some instances, the interface will ignore the unsupported procedure command or procedure command parameter. When this happens, the interface will not issue an error message and will continue running the procedure. The unsupported procedure command or procedure command parameter is skipped. Depending on the functionality the results of running such a procedure can be incorrect. However, by not stopping the procedure and issuing an error message, some procedures developed using one interface can be run using another interface. The commands and command parameters that are ignored are noted in the interface's documentation.
