Command Definitions (MAIL-PUTJCW)
PRINT
PRINT
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.
