EX

How to:

Use the EX Command

You can run an uncompiled Maintain procedure with the FOCEXEC file type by issuing the EX command (which is sometimes lengthened to EXEC).

Because EX only executes Maintain procedures with a file type or ddname of FOCEXEC, we recommend that you use the MNTCON EX command. See MNTCON EX.

This command is outside the Maintain language, but is described here for your convenience. You cannot issue this command from within a Maintain procedure.
