NM and CM callable.

Prints character string on job/session listing device.

Syntax

          CA     I16V    I16V

   PRINT(message,length,controlcode);

Parameters

message

character array (required)

Passes the string of ASCII characters to $STDLIST.

length

16-bit signed integer by value (required)

Returns the length of the character string to be passed in message. If length is positive, the length is in half words; if 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)

Passes a carriage-control code.

Operation Notes

The PRINT intrinsic is limited in its usefulness; the full capability of the file system is not available. For example, the FILE command is not allowed and some file intrinsics cannot be used, because the filenum parameter (obtained from the FOPEN/HPFOPEN intrinsic) is not available to PRINT intrinsic users.

Condition Codes

CCE (2)

Request granted.

CCG (0)

End-of-data was encountered.

CCL (1)

Request denied. An I/O error occurred. Further error analysis through the FCHECK intrinsic is not possible.
