Other Statements

The PRINT and PRINT USING statements produce report output after report

output has begun. These statements are used in conjunction with the

USING clauses of Report Writer statements to generate the report. Before

report output begins and when a report is not active, these statements do

not affect the report.

System output, such as LIST output and display output using the DISP

statement, does not affect output even on the same terminal. This aids

in debugging a report.

When error 260 "no lines left on page" occurs, be sure not to use PRINT

to display an error message. This causes an infinite loop, because

printing the message causes the error again. Instead, use DISP

statements or trap on ERROR 260 and trigger a page break first.

The COPY ALL OUTPUT and SEND OUTPUT statements cannot execute once report

output begins. These statements can execute for an active report before

output starts.

The TAB function of PRINT always works relative to the left margin. If a

report specifies a left margin of 10, a

PRINT TAB(10);...

moves to the tenth column past the margin (column 19). A TAB(1) moves to

the left margin column.
