EXECUTE Command

The EXECUTE command initiates the processing of CA Ideal commands in a member. Storing commands in a member is useful when the same sequence of commands is used repetitively.

Each command stored in the member is successively executed until one of the following occurs:

The last line is processed.
A command causes an error. Subsequent commands in the member are not processed.
Terminal I/O occurs. Subsequent commands in the member are not processed.

Note: CA Ideal does not continue processing each command stored in a member if one of the commands is a RUN that causes a program to transmit a panel. If a panel is transmitted, control is not passed back to the member and the commands following the RUN command do not execute.

You can continue execution after an error by using the SET ENVIRONMENT EXECERROR command in the member. However, SET ENVIRONMENT EXECERROR does not execute subsequent commands if there was a run time error. A run time error stops execution of the member even if you specified CONTINUE.

This command has the following format:

        [  *                          ]
        [            [     {username}]]
EXECUTE [member‑name [USER {user‑id }]]
