Prints a character string on job/session list device. Syntax | |
PRINT(message,length,controlcode); |
Use | |
The PRINT intrinsic enables you to write a string of ASCII
characters from your program to the job/session listing device ($STDLIST).
This provides a quick method of sending output to the terminal.
However, because the PRINT intrinsic does not allow you to take
full advantage of the capabilities of the file system, it is recommended
that you use FWRITE for permanent programs. Parameters | |
- message
character array (required) Passes the string of ASCII characters to $STDLIST.
Note that all character arrays must start on a halfword boundary. - length
16-bit signed integer by value (required) The length of the character string to be passed in message.
If length is positive, the length is in halfwords. If length is
negative, the length is in bytes. If length exceeds the configured
record length of the device, successive records are written only
on terminals. - controlcode
16-bit signed integer by value (required) A carriage control directive. See Table 8-11 “Selected
Carriage Control Directives” for a list of valid codes.
- CCE
Request granted. - CCG
End-of-data was encountered. - CCL
Request denied. An input/output error occurred.
Further error analysis through the FCHECK intrinsic is not possible.
