VMS Help WRITE, Parameters *Conan The Librarian |
logical-name
Specifies the logical name assigned to the output file. Use the
logical name assigned by the OPEN command. In interactive mode,
specify the process-permanent files identified by the logical
names SYS$INPUT, SYS$OUTPUT, SYS$ERROR, and SYS$COMMAND. (The
OPEN command assigns a logical name to a file and places the name
in the process logical name table.)
expression[,...]
Specifies data to be written as a single record to the output
file. You can specify data items using character string
expressions, which may be symbol names, character strings in
quotation marks (" "), literal numeric values, or a lexical
function. For more information on string expressions, see the
OpenVMS User's Manual.
You can specify a list of expressions separated by commas (,);
the command interpreter concatenates the items into one record
and writes the record to the output file.
The maximum size of any record that can be written is less than
1024 bytes, and the value of any symbol that is specified as part
of a record cannot exceed 255 characters; however, if you specify
the /SYMBOL qualifier, the maximum record size is 2048 bytes and
the value of a symbol can exceed 255 characters.
