CLIST Control Commands

CLIST control commands include:

EXEC Command
EXEC

Use the EXEC command to invoke execution of a CLIST. CLIST executions may be nested 9 deep. See CLIST Execution for more information on executing CLISTs.

ENDC Command
ENDC

Use the ENDC command to indicate the physical end of a CLIST module. If encountered during execution, it functions as a GOBACK; i.e., it returns to the next higher CLIST, or to the native CA IDMS DMLO session controller.

EXITC Command
EXITC

Use the EXITC command to provide for immediate exit from the currently active CLIST. EXITC behaves like a GOBACK.

QUIT Command
QUIT

Use the QUIT command to provide a POPTOP function. It has the effect of consecutive EXITC's for each level of active CLIST. Any text following the QUIT verb on the command line will be displayed in the message area. Thus, it provides a convenient "panic-abort" function.
