ECHO 

Determines if commands and comments are echoed during the execution of a
command file.

Syntax 

EC[HO] {ON }
       {OFF}
Parameters 

ON   turns echo on.  This is the default.

OFF  turns echo off.

Prerequisites 

None.

Description 

Use the ECHO command to turn the IMAGE/SQL utility echo on or off.  In
session mode, when echo is on, all commands issued from a command file
and any accompanying comments are displayed at the terminal.  Regardless
of the setting of this command, however, normal command output and error
messages are displayed at the terminal.

When the IMAGE/SQL utility is run, echo is initially on.  To see the
current echo status, use the DISPLAY OPTIONS command.

Example 

In this example, the DISPLAY OPTIONS command first shows that echo is on.
The ECHO OFF command is then issued.  The DISPLAY OPTIONS command
confirms that echo is now off.
