Command Syntax Reference

Scroll Prev Top Next More

After the conversion, R:BASE will also load the command block portions of the .APP application file into the external form as separate "Custom Form Actions". From the main Menu Bar, select "Layout" > "Custom Form Actions". The placement of the command syntax within the Custom Form Actions serves as a secondary reference for the command syntax that was used in the legacy application file. If the individual command blocks were already loaded into the appropriate menu system (Menu Bar, Group Bar, Tree View, Split View, Tile Menu) during the initial conversion process, the syntax here does not need to be updated in addition to to the command syntax in the menu system.

 

The Action Designer, which is used to build and store a library of command blocks, will launch with the application file $COMMAND blocks loaded separately as individual "Command Name" actions. The "Description" column will list the $COMMAND block and originating application file. Within each of the listed items is a block of code. Select or hover the mouse cursor over an item will display a hint of the stored command syntax.
