The DO command lets you execute any of the commands in the command history buffer.

Scope

ISQL only.

ISQL Syntax

DO [ CommandNumber CommandString ]

Parameters

CommandNumber

identifies one of the commands in the command history buffer. The command history buffer holds the fifty most recently submitted commands, numbered 1 through 50. The CommandNumber of the most recently submitted command is 1.

CommandString

identifies the most recent command in the command history buffer that begins with the CommandString.

Description

  • You can use the LIST HISTORY @ command to identify the CommandNumber associated with each command currently in the command history buffer.

  • If no parameter is specified, the most recently submitted command is assumed.

  • DO cannot be used from a command file or the command buffer.

Example

   isql=> LIST HISTORY @;



    1     SELECT SalesPrice FROM PurchDB.Parts;

    2     INFO PurchDB.Parts;

    3     EDIT MyFile;

    .

    .

    .



   isql=> DO 2;



   The "INFO PurchDB.Parts" command is executed because it is the second

   command in the command history buffer.



   isql=> DO;
   The "INFO PurchDB.Parts" command is executed again because it is the most

   recent command in the command history buffer.



   isql=> DO ED;



   The "EDIT MyFile" command is executed because it is the most recent command

   in the command history buffer that begins with the string "ED".
