&PRINT 

Syntax 

&PRINT [text]

where:

text                  unquoted string

Description 

&PRINT simply displays any text or the results of an active function, to
the device defined as $STDLIST (this is usually the terminal).  If no
text is given, a blank line is displayed.  If text is a quoted string,
the quotes will be displayed.  If you want to print either the "<" or the
">" character in the text portion, it is necessary to use a special
directive indicator of "%" before the &PRINT (so the directive would
appear as %&PRINT).

Example 

     &PRINT I cannot find item <VAR item>

This will substitute the content of the variable item and print the
sentence on the screen.  If item contains "Weekly Report", the following
is displayed on the screen:

     I cannot find item "Weekly Report"
