Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     With the ANSI parameter these features behave as they do when a
     program is compiled in that system with the ANSI switch set. See
     your Language Reference. The ANSI parameter also sets
     SEQUENTIAL "RECORD"; if this parameter is not present it sets
     SEQUENTIAL "LINE".
 
     The RM directive sets: NOTRUNC, OLDINDEX, NOOPTIONAL-FILE, ALIGN "2",
     and RETRYLOCK.
 
     Specifying NORM sets: ALIGN "8", SEQUENTIAL "RECORD", NOOLDINDEX,
     TRUNC "ANSI", OPTIONAL-FILE, and NORETRYLOCK. These are not
     necessarily the default settings, and they are not set by
     setting this directive to its default.
