Suprtool Link Command

You can access Suprlink from within the Suprtool program, using Suprtool's Link command. Suprtool will then run Suprlink for you. All of Suprlink's commands are available to you in Suprtool. When passing Suprlink commands through Suprtool, you must preface each Suprlink command with Link. For example,

:run suprtool.pub.robelle

>base customer

>get m-customer

>sort custnum

>output invoices,link

>xeq

>link input invoices by custnum

>link link customer {send "link customer" to Suprlink}

>link output invcust

>link exit {exit from Suprlink (not Suprtool)}

Refer to the Link command in the "Suprtool Commands" chapter of the Suprtool user manual for more information.

You can also use the Suprtool2 interface and the Link command to "call" Suprlink.

See the Suprcall User Manual for a complete example of how to use the interface to pass commands to Suprlink.
