MPE Debug/Stack Dump Reference Manual

SWITCHING DISPLAY TO LINE PRINTER IN PRIVILEGED MODE 

In privileged mode, you can specify a logical device number of the device
to which you want the display sent.  For example, you can send output to
a line printer equated to logical device 6 as follows:

     ?L6 

When a logical device number rather than a file reference is specified,
the line printer is preempted immediately for the output.  This means
that if other users are printing to the same device, your output can be
interspersed with theirs.  To avoid this, always check to insure that you
are the sole user of a line printer before using this form of the L
command.


NOTE The logical device must always be equated to a line printer.
