The .A command appends text to the end of the top statement on the stack.
Format
.A text |
The specified text must be separated from .A by one space. As this command is often used to append parameters to a statement you’ll find that the text string must also begin with a space. For example, to append BY LAST-NAME to an INFO/ACCESS statement, you’d specify:
.A_ _BY LAST-NAME |
_ |
Represents a single space. The first space serves as a delimiter; the second space is part of the text string to be appended. |
