Using the Call Subsystem Statement
The call subsystem statement allows the user to call Ingres tools or other ABF or Vision applications directly from a running application. Parameters include the usual execution flags for Ingres tools. For example:
call qbf (table = 'employee');
call report (name = namefield,
mode = modefield);
The first example calls the QBF interface. In the second example, Namefield and Modefield are fields in the current form.
You can call any of these Ingres tools from within an application. "Call System" provides the parameter list for each subsystem call.
