Neoview Command Interface (NCI) Guide (R2.4)

Considerations
• You must enter the command on one line.
Examples
This command creates a label using a string of characters:
SQL> LABEL MyNewLabel
This command creates a label using a quoted string:
SQL> LABEL "Neoview Label"
LOCALHOST Command
The LOCALHOST command allows you to execute client machine commands.
Syntax
LOCALHOST | LH <client m/c commands>
Considerations
• You must enter the command on one line. The command does not require an SQL terminator.
• The LOCALHOST command has a limitation. When input is entered for the operating system
commands (for example, date, time, and cmd), the input is not visible until you hit the enter
key.
• The LOCAL HOST command is supported in all modes.
• If the SET TIMING is set to ON, the elapsed time information is displayed.
Examples
• If you are using a Windows system, dir lists the contents of the directory name. Similarly,
if you are on a Unix system you enter LOCALHOST LS to display the contents of the folder.
