Retrieving Arguments

When the ASK and INPUT commands run, SQR determines whether you entered any arguments in the command line or whether an argument file was opened. If either has happened, SQR uses this input instead of prompting the user. After the available arguments are used, subsequent ASK or INPUT commands prompt the user for input. If you use the INPUT command with the BATCH-MODE argument, SQR does not prompt the user but instead returns a status meaning No more arguments.

SQR processes all ASK commands before INPUT commands.

Note:

If you compiled the SQR program into an .SQT file, ASK commands will already have been processed. Use INPUT instead.
