QUERY/V Reference Manual

JOIN procedure 

Executes a JOIN procedure stored in the current Proc-file.

Syntax 

     J[OIN] procedure name [,character]

For example:

     >JOIN PROCA

Where procedure name = PROCA

     >J USERS X

Where procedure name = USERS, character = X

Parameters 

procedure name         is the name of a JOIN command previously stored as
                       a procedure using the CREATE command.  The
                       procedure must exist in the current Proc-file
                       specified in the PROC-FILE= command or in the
                       response to the PROC-FILE prompt.

character              is any printable ASCII character.  If character is
                       included in the command, the JOIN procedure is
                       listed.

Discussion 

QUERY searches the current Proc-file (defined by a DEFINE or PROC-FILE
command) and executes the procedure named in the command.  If the
Proc-file has not been declared, the procedure does not exist in the
Proc-file, or the procedure is incorrect in some way, you are informed by
an error message.  If character is included in the command, QUERY prints
the procedure on the standard list device before executing it.

For more information about storing and using JOIN procedures, refer to
the CREATE command.
