IDF-command

The IDF command to be executed.

arguments

Arguments to be passed to the command. The particular arguments depend on the command that is supplied.

The command line is examined for the name of the IDF command. If the command is not known to IDF, the IMPMACRO option is checked. If this indicates that implied macro processing is desired, the indicated macro is used as the command.

The command name is then temporarily removed from the command line, so that any arguments which are present are available to the specified command. The command is then executed as if you have pressed a PF key.

If the command line is empty and no input fields in the remainder of the screen are changed, the only function performed is to move the cursor to the command line.

Return codes

The return code when COMMAND is issued by a macro is the propagated return code from the IDF command.
