Description Use CMDFILE to call a file that contains one report's command line
options. The file called must be an ASCII file, either .txt or any other ASCII-type file.
CMDFILE differs from the cgicmd.dat file, in that CMDFILE can contain one
command line for one report, where the cgicmd.dat file can contain multiple
key-identified commands for multiple reports. Additionally, the CMDFILE keyword
can be used along with other arguments in a command line; while, when you use the
key argument associated with cgicmd.dat, it is the only argument that appears in
the command line.
The CMDFILE keyword enables you to run a report without specifying a large number
of options each time you invoke a run command.
