Kourier contains a number of TCL commands that support the use of keywords to control their behavior. The command line options are described below:
| Keyword | Description |
|---|---|
| ASSOC | Used as a field qualifier in a Kourier statement to associate a field with an association of multi-valued fields. Syntax is: ASSOC "association". The ASSOC keyword temporarily overrides the file dictionary for the duration of the statement. This keyword is only supported when the output of a command is in XML format. |
| COL.HDG | Used as a field qualifier in a Kourier statement to define a column heading for the field. Syntax is: COL.HDG "heading". The COL.HDG keyword temporarily overrides the file dictionary for the duration of the statement. When the output of a command is in XML format, the column heading is used as the xml tag. |
| CONV | Used as a field qualifier in a Kourier statement to define a conversion for the field. Syntax is: CONV "conversion". conversion is any BASIC conversion code available to the ICONV and OCONV functions. The CONV keyword temporarily overrides the file dictionary for the duration of the statement. |
| DICT | Used with a filename to specify the file dictionary rather than the data file. This keyword should immediately proceed the filename in a Kourier statement. |
| EXPORT-2MEM | Used to specify that the output of the KEXPORT command should not be written to a disk file. |
| EXPORT-FILE | Used to specify where the output of the KEXPORT command should be written. Syntax is: EXPORT-FILE "filename". |
| EXPORT-FORMAT | Indicates the format of the output generated by a command. Syntax is: EXPORT-FORMAT "format". Each Kourier command may support a subset (or none) of the following formats: FIXED, HTML, TAB, and XML. |
| EXPORT-ID | When used in the KEXPORT command, it specifies the name of the item to write on the file specified by the EXPORT-FILE keyword. Syntax is: EXPORT-FILE "itemname". When used in the KMK.EXPORT command, it indicates the name of the KommerceServer export to process. |
| EXPORT-KCLAPP | Used by the KEXPORT command to specify the name of the application associated with a net change export. Syntax is: EXPORT-KCLAPP "appname". |
| EXPORT-KCLFILE | Used by the KEXPORT command to specify the name of the net change file associated with a net change export. Syntax is: EXPORT-KCLFILE "filename". |
| EXPORT-NETCHG | Indicates that an export should be processed in net change mode. |
| FMT | Used as a field qualifier in a Kourier statement to define a field format. Syntax is: FMT "fmt". fmt indicates the number of characters to pad the display field and a justification code. Possible justification codes are L for left justified, R for right justified, T for left justified wrapped on words, or C for centered (e.g., 15T). |
| NO-AUTOSELECT | Used by the KEXPORT command to over-ride the default behavior of doing an internal select of all records in a file when the KEXPORT command is executed without an active select list. |
| OVERWRITING | Used by the KEXPORT command to specify that the item specified by the EXPORT-ID keyword should be overwritten in the file specified by the EXPORT-FILE keyword. |
| SQUAWK | Indicates that the progress of a command should be displayed. In some cases it may also display additional informational messages. |
| USING | Indicates that an alternate dictionary should be used as the file dictionary. Syntax is: USING {DICT} filename. |
| XML-PARSE-SUB | Used by the KMK.IMPORT command to indicate the name of a BASIC subroutine that should be used to convert a message to XML format. Syntax is: XML-PARSE-SUB "subroutinename". |
