The SCOPE command defines the scope for subsequent COMPRESS, DEFRAGMENT, PACKDISK, SCANDISK, SHOWAMPRECOVERY, SHOWBLOCKS, SHOWCOMPRESS, SHOWCYLALLOC, SHOWFSP, SHOWSPACE, SHOWWHERE, and UNCOMPRESS commands. It defines the class of tables, range of tables, vprocs/maps (AMPs), and cylinders, or the WAL log to be used as parameters with these Ferret commands.
Each SCOPE command defines a new scope and is not a continuation of the last one.
