ECHO

Prerequisites

None.

Description

Use the ECHO command to turn the IMAGE/SQL utility echo on or off. In session mode, when echo is on, all commands issued from a command file and any accompanying comments are displayed at the terminal. Regardless of the setting of this command, however, normal command output and error messages are displayed at the terminal.

When the IMAGE/SQL utility is run, echo is initially on. To see the current echo status, use the DISPLAY OPTIONS command.

Example

In this example, the DISPLAY OPTIONS command first shows that echo is on. The ECHO OFF command is then issued. The DISPLAY OPTIONS command confirms that echo is now off.

   >>DISPLAY OPTIONS

   Current TurboDB     : SALES.SERED.ATC

   Current SQLDBE      : PARTSDBE.SERED.ATC

   Echo                : ON

   Command Logging     : ON

   Log File            : ATCLOG.SERED.ATC
