Chapter 8 Transact Verbs This chapter contains detailed specifications for using Transact verbs. The verb specifications are arranged in alphabetic order for easy reference. Each specification contains a single phrase description of the verb's functions. The verb's syntax is listed, followed by a general description of the syntax and how the verb is used. The syntax for most of the verbs is described in terms of statement parts. The specifications for each statement part are provided in detail. Some verbs, however, have modifiers that change both the syntax and the function of the verb. These verbs are described in terms of "syntax" options. Each syntax option description consists of the syntax for that option followed by a description of the statement parts. Information common to the verb regardless of the particular syntax option precedes the description of the individual syntax options. Verbs with syntax options include DATA, DEFINE, LET, LIST, PROMPT, RESET, and SET. Examples are provided wherever applicable. The examples are either included within the syntax descriptions, or they follow the entire verb description.
