You can define a symbol to invoke the Relational Data Manipulation Language (RDML) preprocessor. For example: $ RDML :== $RDML $ RDML _Source file: SAL_HISTORY.RC A more convenient method is to define symbols. For example: $ RDMLC :== $RDML/C $ RDMLPAS :== $RDML/PASCAL $! $ RDMLC SAL_HISTORY.RC See the RDML Help module that is available from DCL level for details.
