Use HostCommand to pass a command to the BIM-EDIT command line processor running on the host.

 

HostCommand may also be entered as HostCom[mand], or Bi[m].

 

HostCommand passes the entire command string following the HostCommand command itself to the BIM-EDIT command line processor on the host.  BIM-EDIT/XP does not parse or edit this string in any way.

 

There are isolated circumstances where it may be desirable to invoke the BIM-EDIT (as opposed to BIM-EDIT/XP) command line processor to accomplish a given function on a host BIM-EDIT system.  HostCommand is provided for this purpose. Normally, the average user will not need to use this command.

 

Return Codes

 

-- Determined by the BIM-EDIT command invoked on the host.

 

Examples
