@sentence vs @command (Universe)

[George Gallen]

So these two command are not interchangable.

@SENTENCE returns the full line of the current program being executed

@COMMAND returns the full command line executed

when this makes a difference is when you run a program from a VOC

@SENTENCE will return the program command line, @COMAMND will

return the command line to run the VOC

VOC - VTEST1

PA

RUN LIB VTEST1

LIB - VTEST1

PRINT  @COMMAND

PRINT @SENTENCE

So running:

RUN LIB VTEST1

returns

RUN LIB VTEST1

RUN LIB VTEST1

BUT...

VTEST1

returns

VTEST1

RUN LIB VTEST1

just something to keep in mind...This was on Universe 11   (I seem to recall it did that also on UV10 also)

[Martin Phillips]

These two @variable names were originally defined by Prime Information and found their way into later products. Note that there is an obscure trap for the unwary if you use inline prompts.

 

The C control code references @SENTENCE and the S control code references @COMMAND.
