dBASE Commands and Functions Not Supported by CA-Clipper
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some dBASE commands and functions are not supported by CA-Clipper.
CA-Clipper does not support any of the commands that are used primarily
in the interactive or "dot prompt" mode. In the interactive mode, you
may instantly query the various databases without writing a program,
however, CA-Clipper has been designed to compile and execute programs
significantly faster than can be accomplished in the interactive mode.
The dBASE commands and functions that are not supported by CA-Clipper
are listed in the table below.
