Effect

Writes the content of the data object dobj to the current list.

Additions

• [AT] [/][pos][(len|*|**)]
  Specifies line feed /, horizontal position pos, and lengthlen|*|** of the output.
  
  
• LEFT-JUSTIFIED|CENTERED|RIGHT-JUSTIFIED
  Defines whether the output will be aligned - within the current output length - left-justified, centered, or right-justified.
  
  
• NO-GAP
  Positions the list cursor directly after the output and not into the position of the lift buffer after the next one.
  
  
• UNDER other_dobj
  Positions the output in the current list at the position where - in a previous WRITE statement - the data object other_dobj was output.
  
  
• EXPONENT exp
  Defines the exponent for output of data objects of the data type f.
  
  
• NO-GROUPING
  In the output of data objects of the data types i or p, suppresses the separation character for thousands.
  
  
• NO-SIGN
  In the output of data objects of the data types i, p, or f, suppresses the plus/minus sign.
  
  
• NO-ZERO
  Replaces zeroes by blanks.
  
  
• CURRENCY cur
  Creates currency-dependent decimal places for the output of data objects of the data types i or p through a currency key cur from the database table TCURX.
  
  
• DECIMALS dec
  Defines the displayed decimal places for the output of data objects of the data types i, p, or f as dec.
  
  
• ROUND scale
  Multiplies the value of a data object of the data type p before output with 10**(-scale).
  
  
• UNIT unit
  Cuts off decimal places that have the value 0 and are outside of the precise area of a measuring unit unit from the database table T006 during output of data objects of the data type p.
  
  
• TIME ZONE tz
  Edits a time stamp in relation to a time zone tz.
  
  
• USING {{NO EDIT MASK}|{EDIT MASK mask}}
  
  NO EDIT MASK - Switches off the execution of an assigned conversion routine.
  
  EDIT MASK - Either calls a different conversion routine mask or defines an editing mask mask.
  
  
• DD/MM/YY|MM/DD/YY|DD/MM/YYYY|MM/DD/YYYY|DDMMYY|MMDDYY|YYMMDD
  Has the effect of an editing mask for the output of data objects of the data type d.
  
  
• COLOR, INTENSIFIED, INVERSE, HOTSPOT, INPUT, FRAMES, RESET
  Same as statement FORMAT, but relating to the current output.
  
  
• AS CHECKBOX
  Specifies a single-digit checkbox ready for input.
  
  
• AS ICON
  Outputs an icon if the appropriate internal representation is contained in dobj.
  
  
• AS SYMBOL
  Outputs a symbol if the appropriate internal representation is contained in dobj.
  
  
• AS LINE
  Specifies a line element if the appropriate internal representation is contained in dobj.
  
  
• QUICKINFO info
  Assigns a quick info to the output.
