Appending Text (.A)

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.
