Action statement commands

The following commands are available for an action statement:

Command	Used to
CALCULATE	Perform an arithmetic operation using numeric data items and values. During the calculation process, the calculated values are held in Work space areas.
CALL	Call a COBOL program, for example to enable additional validation to be performed.
DISPLAY	Show a user defined warning or information message, or the current value of a selected data item. The operator is able to continue entering data once the information is displayed. For example: DISPLAY WARNINGMSG displays the message defined in Rule Messages (RMG) as WARNINGMSG. DISPLAY Address Line 1 displays the first line of address for the account referenced in the current transaction.
ERROR	Display a user defined message during data entry, or report an error in an import function. The operator is unable to continue entering data after the message is displayed.
MATCH	To automatically match items in Reconciliation Manager.
RUN	Enable an external application to be run with runtime parameters if required.
APPEND	Add alphanumeric characters to the end of the contents of the selected work space. You can only append to general work spaces. You can append text, keywords, the contents of another work space, or data from the function data hierarchy. For example: APPEND General Work Space 1 Account Code adds the alphanumeric characters of the account code specified in the current transaction to the end of the contents of General Work Space 1.
