The MDB command puts you into MDB Mode, where you can use a limited number of Monitor commands. This lets you change the current multiple database during a session without having to leave the Module and enter Monitor.
When you enter MDB mode, you can either update the current Multiple Database (MDB) to save your design changes, or ignore any changes made since your last SAVEWORK command, by specifying UPDATE or NOUPDATE.
When you are in MDB mode, you can give the following commands, which are the same as the corresponding Monitor commands. Refer to Command Summary for further information.
