CLX archive - 1998: 2 Databases - One Command ?

2 Databases - One Command ?

Hello All,

I try to access 2 different databases under one command.
Lets say I have one database called "qsl" where all the records from DL1SBF
are in and a second one called "qslnew", where I also put in records filtered
from the DX-Spots.

When I understand the clx-manual (4.5. Remote ...) right it is possible to
create a database with executable records.
Let's say I create a "master" database called "qs" and I put the 2 commands
sh/qsl <?> and sh/qslnew <?> in it. Are both databases checked for <?> ?
Does the search function stop when the first right record is found ?

In the manual the command line for making an executable statement is
update/<tablename> !<key> <clx command> <?>
What does <key> mean in his case and what do I have to put in there?

Many thanks for your help,
