Display (Command)

[John]

I happened across the display command on the BR Wiki ( http://brwiki.ads.net/index.php?title=D ... Command%29 ) and thought WOW - Now that could really be helpful! So I wanted to try it out.

My first attempt is:

display all >c:\_\variable.txt

but it returns an error 1006.

I *think* my syntax is correct, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Any ideas?

John;

I think your syntax is incorrect.

Try DISPLAY -P your_program_name varible_name >file_name
or DISPLAY -P your_program_name ALL PRINT

DISPLAY -P your_program_name ALL >file_name did not work for me.

Part of the display statement can be seen when using STATUS BREAK

To turn off the display statement, enter
DISPLAY -P your_program_name varible_name OFF

Hope this helps...

i believe the -p program_name part is optional. if omitted it should use the the same value as program$.

I'm trying to get the ALL >file.txt to work. I believe it's still being worked on. Should be available soon.
