Properties
The programming language is similar to BASIC, Pascal, and COBOL. It avoids requirements like Pascal's requirement that every code block is contained in a begin-end block. Like Cobol, Clarion separates data declarations from code. The language was designed to make writing business database applications simple.
Clarion is somewhat different from many mainstream languages in having data file access, window and report structures, and printing commands built into the language.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
