Additional Information
- Writes to the file or device that is associated with the path number specified.
- Write Line is similar to Write. The difference is that Write Line writes data until it encounters a carriage return character. It also activates line editing for character-oriented devices, such as terminals and printers. The line editing refers to auto line feed, null padding at the end of the line, backspacing, line deleting, and so on.
- Before using Write Line, be sure the path opened or created in the write or update access mode.
- For more information about line editing, see “SCF Line Editing Functions” in Chapter 6.
