| **#ENABLE** | Begins a group of //prompts// which may be enabled or disabled based upon the evaluation of the //expression//. |
| //expression// | The expression which controls the prompt enable/disable. |
| **CLEAR** | Specifies the //prompts// symbol values are cleared when disabled. |
| **SECTION** | Specifies all AT() attributes for the //prompts// are positioned relative to the start of the #ENABLE section. |
| //prompts// | One or more #PROMPT, #BUTTON, #DISPLAY, #ENABLE, and/or #VALIDATE statements. |

The **#ENABLE** structure contains //prompts// which may be enabled or disabled based upon the evaluation of the //expression//. If the //expression// is true, the //prompts// are enabled, otherwise they are disabled. The //prompts// appear dimmed when disabled and the programmer may not enter data in them.
