A DEC DATATRIEVE procedure is a phrase, statement, or group of
statements stored in the data dictionary. A procedure is defined
by the DEFINE PROCEDURE statement (see HELP DEFINE PROCEDURE). A
procedure can be invoked by the following construct:
:procedure-path
Procedure-path is the dictionary path of a previously defined
procedure (see HELP Path_name). The procedure invocation
(:procedure-name) is replaced by the text in the procedure.
You can also invoke a procedure by entering the keyword EXECUTE
followed by the procedure name.
To display a procedure definition, type:
SHOW procedure-name
To obtain the names of the defined procedures, type:
SHOW PROCEDURES
