Call CLEARSELECT UniQuery Command in Paragraph

[sniper612]

Hi all,

Is there any other way to call the CLEARSELECT UniQuery command in paragraph apart from EXEC ">:CLEARSELECT"? This syntax works as intended, however, it will bring a side effect under GUI mode. Once the command is executed, the blue terminal screen will appear and disappear right after.

Thanks in advance!

For GUI it's probably best to write a little BASIC routine that you can call to execute TCL commands quietly.  Maybe something like this:

SUBROUTINE EXECUTE.QUIETLY
$INCLUDE DMSKELCODE COMMON
EXECUTE PARAM CAPTURING VALUE
RETURN

Then you can call this via:

CALL EXECUTE.QUIETLY,CLEARSELECT

..or...

LOCAL L.RESULT
L.RESULT = B('EXECUTE.QUIETLY,..any TCL command...')

And the results will come back in the local variable L.RESULT.

Wrap a /PD.B around this and then you have something you can call either as a process or as a subroutine.
