Executing MPE Command You can issue some MPE commands without exiting the SDMAIN program. To use MPE commands from within SDMAIN, enter a colon (:) followed by the command, in response to the > prompt. From this point on, all syntax follows the MPE rules and conventions. For example, the ampersand (&) is the continuation character, and there is no terminating period. After the MPE command has been processed, control is returned and the SDMAIN prompt is again displayed. Note that you cannot execute another program from within SDMAIN by using the MPE RUN command. For a list of MPE commands that you can issue from within SDMAIN, see the COMMAND intrinsic shown in the MPE XL Intrinsics Reference Manual (32650-90028). If an MPE command cannot be executed from within SDMAIN, you receive an error message.
