*else()
Used to define the false block of an if-statement. Syntax *else()

*enabledatabase()
Used to scan for entities in the HyperMesh database. Syntax Argument *enabledatabase(<flag>) <flag> The flag can be set to all or selected. If you set the flag to all, the entity output commands (such as *nodes()) scan all entities in the database, even if you select displayed on the export or summary panels. If you set the flag to selected, and you select displayed on the export or summary panels, the entity output commands scan the database for the displayed commands only. Comments When writing export and summary templates, it may be necessary to scan the entire database before processing the displayed entities. To do this, use *enabledatabase(all). To scan the database for only the entities that you selected (this can be all or displayed ), use *enabledatabase(selected). *enabledatabase() should be used outside of any other command blocks and can be used more than once.

*end()
Places an end-of-line character in the data deck being generated. Syntax Comments *end() This command ends the current line and places the output cursor at the beginning of the next line in the output file.
