?OUT Command

The ?OUT command specifies the output device for a report. The syntax of the ?OUT

command is:

physical-filename

is the name of the output device to which any subsequent report is directed.

The ?OUT command is used to name the physical device on which a report is printed.

The physical device can be a printing device such as such as $mlp. The physical device

can also be a file name. The ?OUT command remains in effect until a new ?OUT

command is issued or the session is terminated.

Issuing the ?OUT command without specifying a physical-filename causes the

report to be printed on the listing file specified by ENFORM's run-time OUT option.

The ?OUT command affects only where the report is sent. The source listing goes either

to the default listing file specified by the OUT option of the ENFORM command or to

the QUERY-REPORT-LISTING file.

The ?OUT command can be part of the Edit-format file or can precede an ?EXECUTE or

?RUN command. The ?OUT command is not saved in a compiled query file.
