Display online help for BTEQ and its commands by using the HELP command at the command prompt.

The BTEQ help display includes a brief description of BTEQ, a listing of each command in alphabetical order, and additional notes on input. The command listings include syntax descriptions in text format rather than graphical format. The command-specific help displays the purpose statement for the command along with the available shorthand for the command as well as its options.

Starting with BTEQ 17.20.00.10 and BTEQ 20.00.00.03, shorthand syntax is supported for all BTEQ commands and their options. See Shorthand Syntax for more details.
