1.6.3 The PROLOG Command

PROLOG is similar to the procedure DOC_LIBRARY except that it is customized to use the prolog format adopted by the IUEDAC. IUEDAC prologs have fixed headings that can be searched and displayed by PROLOG. For example, To display the purpose of all procedures beginning with the characters GET and write the results to a file called 'DIS.TXT':

PROLOG,'GET*',key='PURPOSE',outfile='DIS.TXT' 

To get more information on PROLOG (or any routine mentioned in the manual), type PROLOG,'PROLOG'.

Another useful program for seeing or modifying IUEDAC programs is GETPRO. GETPRO will create a copy of the requested procedure in your working directory. Use PROLOG for more information.
