Include Statement--Include External Files
The include statement allows you to include external files in your source code. The syntax of the include statement is
##include filename
For example, you can use include to incorporate a file of EQUEL variable declarations:
begin program
## include "myvars.dec"
## /*
## ** the equel program can reference the data items
## ** declared in myvars.dec
## */
end program
For information about the naming conventions for include files, see the Embedded QUEL Companion Guide.
