The DCL DATATRIEVE command can take a DATATRIEVE command or statement as an argument. This allows you to execute a DATATRIEVE command, statement, or procedure without entering interactive DEC DATATRIEVE. If the dtr-command-string contains more than one word, it must be placed in quotation marks. For example, to invoke the DEC DATATRIEVE procedure REPORT which is located in CDD$TOP.JOB, you would enter DATATRIEVE "EXECUTE CDD$TOP.JOB.REPORT"
