			ISQL Statements

	Table 3-1: ISQL Statements for Statement History Support

	Statement		Summary

	RUN [ stmt_num ]		Displays and executes the current statement or specified state-
			ment in the history buffer. See Section 3.7.16 "RUN" on page 3-
			33 details.

	LIST [ stmt_num ]		Displays the current statement or specified statement in the his-
			tory buffer, and makes that statement the current statement by
			copying it to the end of the history list. See Section 3.7.14 "LIST"
			on page 3-32 for details.

	EDIT [ stmt_num ]		Edits the current statement or specified statement in the history
			buffer, and makes the edited statement the current statement by
			copying it to the end of the history list. The environment variable
			EDITOR can be set to the editor of choice. See Section 3.7.8
			"EDIT" on page 3-25 for details.

	SAVE filename		Saves the current statement in the history buffer to the specified
			file, which can then be retrieved through the GET or START
			statements. See Section 3.7.17 "SAVE" on page 3-34 for details.

	GET filename		Fetches the contents of the specified file, from the beginning of
			the file to the first semicolon, and appends it to the history buffer.
			The statement fetched by the GET can then be executed by
			using the RUN statement. See Section 3.7.10 "GET" on page 3-
			27 for details.

	START filename	[	Fetches and executes a statement stored in the specified file.
	argument … ]		Unlike the GET statement, START executes the statement and
			accepts arguments that it substitutes for parameter references in
			the statement stored in the file. START also appends the state-
			ment to the history buffer. See Section 3.7.21 "START" on page
			3-39 for details.

3.4FORMATTING OUTPUT OF ISQL QUERIES

Formatting of database query results makes the output of a database query more presentable and understandable. The formatted output of an ISQL database query can be either displayed on the screen, written to a file, or spooled to a printer to produce a hardcopy of the report.
