Command and Processes - D

These tables list all commands and processes available in all Datamine Studio products. If your product has access to a command or process, the link on the left of the table displays a help file. If no link appears, the function isn't available in your product.

Symbols used in this table:

A green tick indicates that the module is part of the core system licensing for the specified product - no additional module is required.

X A red cross indicates the module is not part of the listed system and any commands held within it cannot be run (a separate product will be required).

A blue diamond indicates the module is an optional extra for the specified system.

Note: For an explanation of the terms 'command', 'process' and 'macro command', see Command Table Introduction.
