The Eloquence QUERY3K utility is intended as a replacement for the MPE QUERY/iX utility.
It may be used to access Eloquence database contents without programming.
usage: query3k [options]
QUERY3K command-line options:
BATCH (also implies NOINTER, NODUPLIC)
[no]DUPLICactive
NOFORCEDUPLICactive
HELP
[no]INTERactive
NOFORCEINTERactive
NOCI disallow CI commands
NOTPI disable all Third Party Indexing
SESSION (also implies INTERACTIVE, DUPLICATIVE)
VERBOSE enable verbose mode
VERSION output QUERY3K version
VERSIONS output QUERY3K version details
XEQ filename
QUERY3K is designed to be closely compatible and to require only minimal changes to
existing QUERY scripts. However, as QUERY3K does not run on top of MPE some minor changes
may be required to adapt your existing QUERY scripts to the system environment.
The options (which may be specified with or without leading hyphen) are:
- -help
- The -help option displays a brief help text.
- BATCH
- The BATCH option makes query3k behave as if run in a batch job.
This impacts the displaying of prompts, input echo, progress messages,
or program aborting behavior on errors, for example.
- SESSION
- The SESSION option makes query3k behave as if run in a session.
This impacts the displaying of prompts, input echo, progress messages,
or program aborting behavior on errors, for example.
- [NO]DUPLICactive
- The [NO]DUPLICactive option is only used for diagnostic purposes.
- NOFORCEDUPLICactive
- The NOFORCEDUPLICactive option is only used for diagnostic purposes.
- [NO]INTERactive
- The [NO]INTERactive option is only used for diagnostic purposes.
- NOFORCEINTERactive
- The NOFORCEINTERactive option is only used for diagnostic purposes.
- NOCI
- The NOCI option disables the use of ": commands" in the query3k session.
- NOTPI
- The NOTPI option disables the use of TPI calls.
- VERBOSE
- The VERBOSE option enables verbose messages such as progress messages
for FIND, SUBSET or MULTIFIND commands (also see HELP VERBOSE vs HELP
TERSE inside query3k).
- VERSION
- The VERSION option displays the query3k version number.
- VERSIONS
- The VERSION option displays the query3k program and library version numbers
- XEQ filename
- The XEQ option executes a query3k script. Also see HELP XEQ inside query3k.
The options BATCH, SESSION, [NO]DUPLICactive, NOFORCEDUPLICactive, [NO]INTERactive,
and NOFORCEINTERactive are mostly useful for diagnostic purposes. The query3k program
checks whether it is run from an interactive terminal (or with redirected stdin)
and uses reasonable defaults accordingly. Some commands are only available or behave
differently when query3k is run in an interactive terminal session.
The example below displays query3k program and library version numbers:
$ query3k -versions
QUERY3K application revision:
B.08.20.00 (20110525)
Eloquence library revision:
IMAGE3K B.08.20.00
ELOQDB B.08.20.00
SORT:
Redstone SORT 2005-03-30
The example below invokes query3k interactively:
$ query3k
