In Business Rules! commands are instructions to the computer that allow you to control many operations, including program execution, disk and printer operations, and the system date and time. Unlike BR Statements, most of these commands - except those used in procedure files - take effect as soon as you enter them. Commands generally are not part of Business Rules programs, although you may specify them in Execute statements.

In order to see how a particular command works:
1. start BR by double-clicking the BR executable,
2. type in a command with its arguments, and
3. press <Enter>.

For example, you can use the DATE command to set the current system date to October 16, 2015 by starting BR and typing in DATE 10-16-15.
