GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
Introduction
EASYTRIEVE PLUS is an
information retrieval and data
management system designed to simplify computer programming.
Its English-like language and simple declarative statements
provide the new user with the tools needed to produce
comprehensive reports
with ease,
while
its enhanced
facilities provide the experienced data processor with the
capabilities to perform complex programming tasks.
Manuals
In addition to this Reference Manual, PANSOPHIC provides two
other EASYTRIEVE PLUS manuals:
The EASYTRIEVE PLUS Installation Guide describes the
process of installing and tuning the EASYTRIEVE PLUS
system.
The EASYTRIEVE PLUS Application Guide describes basic
syntax and operation and provides a series of actual
applications, from single examples to full systems. The
Guide takes you through each program step-by-step,
illustrating every line of code necessary to perform
the task. The Guide is an excellent tool for the
business-oriented professional.
The syntax diagrams in the Application Guide may not
exactly coincide with those in the Reference Manual.
This is simply because the syntax and parameters in the
Application Guide are abridged for easy understanding.
Environment
EASYTRIEVE PLUS operates on the IBM 370, 30xx, 43xx, and
compatible processors in the DOS/VSE, OS/VS,
and VM!CMS
environments. Unde~ TSO, CMS, and ICC" EASYTRIEVE PLUS can
run interactively for data inquiry, analysis, and reporting.
The out?ut can be either returned back to your terminal
screen. or routed to a printer.

Capabilities
EJlSYTRIEVE PLUS' extensive capabilities provide i'oU with
more benefits than those available 1n standard information
retrieval systems.
EASYTRIEVE PLUS has the capabilities of
a retrieval system as well as the ~ompr_hen~iv~neS5 and
flexibility required for complex reports,
data extraction
and file maintenance requirements.
File Access
EASYTRIEVE PLUS' file access features provide all standard
retrieval system capabilities, plus the following:
• Accepts unlimited number of input or output files.
• Synchronizes file processing (based on keys)
of an
unlimited number of files, including matched conditions
and duplicate checking.
This reduces complex matching
logic down to one statement.
• Tests for file availability and current record count.
• Prints statistics on files used including
records processed and attributes of each file.

VFM's own data management techniques ensure its operating
efficiency standards, including:
• Maintaining more information in memory. If the memory area
is exhausted, VfM writes the excess data to a single spill
area.
• Defining only one physical file.
• Determining the best blocking factor based on device type,
