The GET-LIST command retrieves one or more saved select-lists and makes a single list available to a subsequent command, query, or program. Only one such command may be executed on a retrieved select-list, however. If the user wants to execute more than one command, the saved list must be retrieved again.
Assume that a select-list called ORDERS.FEB has been created and saved that identifies all orders taken during the month of February. These two commands retrieve the saved list from the POINTER-FILE and send a report on February orders to the printer:
|
>GET-LIST ORDERS.FEB 85 ITEMS SELECTED. >SORT ORDERS BY-DSND TOTAL.AMT REPORT (P) |
