ORD (OR define)

The form of the ORD command is one of the following:

ORD col = definition, ! binary data only

ORDM mvar = definition,

The ORD command assigns additional values to cols and mvars without deleting values already assigned.

ORDM is useful with ASCII data where several input fields may hold data for the same variable. Using ORDM avoids the use of a logical definition using .OR., which takes longer to compile and execute.

ORDM may be used on the first definition of a mvar, in which case the effect is exactly as if D (define) had been used.

Examples of ORDEFINE commands:

d $461=$123,

ord $461=$124,

 

ordm $purch = $313-314/1-23,

ordm $purch = $315-316/1-23,
