SharkBase Reference Guide

Appendix B - SharkBase Keywords

SharkBase can become confused when some keywords are used in conjunction with certain commands. For instance, if you create a data file called COMPLETE.DBF, you will not be able to put it into use. Why? Because the "COMP" will be understood as the COMPILE keyword, so SharkBase will not open COMPLETE as you'd expect. Furthermore, the reformatting facility of WRITE can get confused by variable names that start or end indented structures, such as REPE, END, CASE, PROC, etc. Here is a complete list of SharkBase keywords:
