Block Delimiters

EQUEL block delimiters mark the beginning and end of the embedded block-structured statements. The retrieve loop and the forms statements display, unloadtable, submenu, formdata, and tabledata are examples of block-structured statements. The block delimiters to such statements can be braces, { and }, or the keywords begin and end. For example:

## display empform
## activate menuitem "Help"
## {
Help_File("empform");
## }
## activate menuitem "Quit"
## begin
## breakdisplay
## end
