Here is a brief overview of DGL statements. Subsequent sections provide you with the full range of available statements and their syntax. DGL is written as statements, each of which is a specific command to the Documentor Tool. The types of statements vary, and most are similar to constructs in other languages.
DGL statements consist of the following types:
● Structure statements—Define the structure of the template.
● Declaration statements—Declare the type of identifier for variables, constants and parameters.
● Assignment statement—Assign a value to a variable.
● File handling statements—Open or close files or the dialog area, and read data from files.
● Output statements—Pass information to output document segments, or to the dialog area.
● Control flow statements—For conditional and iterating execution of statements.
