SET

The SET command has a variety of uses, many of which alter the form of the output that Dialog sends to your computer. Any time you use a SET command, you are setting a parameter that will remain in effect until LOGOFF or until you enter another SET command modifying that parameter.

You can use any SET command in any database on Dialog, except DIALINDEX^®. Once entered, the SET commands remain in effect in any database that supports them, until you change them or log off. For example, the settings for KWIC and HILIGHT continue from file to file for the duration of the session unless you enter a new SET KWIC or SET HI command.

You can also store preferences, functional equivalents to many of the SET commands, using Configuration > Settings > Edit > Preferences on the DialogLink toolbar in order to customize Dialog to your needs.

Use the SHOW command to view the parameters you have SET.

See Summary of SET Commands for brief descriptions of all the SET commands. From there (or from the Table of Contents), you can go to detailed descriptions for each SET command. Each SET command must be entered separately.
