Procedure Definition Language Concepts and Language Elements

The CA Ideal Programming Reference Guide describes the Procedure Definition Language (PDL) statements and functions, and symbolic debugger commands. It includes the syntax and a description of each.

CA Ideal statements are entered in PDL programs and executed. Statements include FOR, LIST, MOVE, and SELECT.

CA Ideal functions are also entered in PDL programs. All functions begin with a dollar sign character ($), for example, $DATE, $EDIT, and $STRING.

Symbolic Debugger commands are entered after initiating a debug session. These commands can be entered interactively from the command line or line command area or in a command member.
