Description

The PRINT command prints the specified <.txt filename> on the printer. The filename can be substituted with an <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. If no file extension is specified, then '.txt' is assumed. If the file extension is '.tmp' the PRINT command will delete the file after printing it.

The DB_PRINT and DB_PRINTOPT environment variables can be customized to configure print destinations and options.


Example

// Print 4 copies of a report
m_filenam = sys(3) = ".txt"
report form analysis to file &m_filenam
for i=1 to 4
    print &m_filenam
next
erase &m_filenam
