Skip to main content

Element <section>

The <section> element is used to begin a sequence of instructions. It typically serves as the direct child of the root <IsisScript> element to define the main entry points of the script.

Unlike <function>, which defines a reusable block called by name, a <section> is often used to structure the primary linear flow of the script.

Usage​

  • Allowed content: <call>, <cgitable>, <define>, <display>, <do>, <export>, <extract>, <field>, <file>, <flow>, <hl>, <label>, <list>, <parm>, <proc>, <trace>
  • Parent elements: <IsisScript>

Syntax​

<section [name="..."]>
    </section>
