PLUSLIB DLL Library

Command

Function

ADD xxxx, …

The ADD directive will add one or more programs/files, including images, to the currently open library. For information on including images in the DLL library, see Images.

The actual ADD operation will only take place when you issue an UPDATE command.

If you have multiple files to add, you can place the file names in an external text file and pass that file name to the ADD command prefixed by a < less than sign (e.g. ADD <appl1 will add all files/programs listed in appl1 to the library). See File Lists.

(Support for including images in the DLL library was added in PxPlus 2021.)

CLOSE

Closes the currently open library.

If any changes are pending (ADDs or REMOVEs), you will be prompted to apply the UPDATE before closing the file. If the update is not done, the pending changes will be lost.
