B Eloquence Syntax

Introduction

The Eloquence language consists of statements, functions, operators and commands. Operators and functions are used with variables and numbers in creating numeric and string expressions. Expressions can be included in statements and executed from the keyboard. Each statement can also be preceded by a line number and stored as a program line. Commands can only be executed from the keyboard; they are not programmable.

This appendix alphabetically lists the majority of statements, functions, and commands available with the Eloquence language. Refer to the appropriate system software manual for the syntax of additional Eloquence language enhancements. For example, for database commands, refer to the Eloquence DBMS manual.

Obsolete keywords and options which are only handled for HP260 compatibility are no longer included here (they still work as before though).
