Description

If SET CONSOLE is OFF, no output is displayed on the screen. Characters can be input so that, for example, reports may be printed on a slave printer attached to the terminal without the text appearing on the screen. Another usage is to read passwords without echo. By default, CONSOLE is ON.


Example

report form patrons to print
set console on
