fiie#, print list
There are a few differences between this statement and the PRINT.
First of ail, the word PRINT# is followed by a number, which refers to
the device or data file previously OPENed. The number is followed by a
comma, and a list of things to be PRINTed. The comma and semicolon
act in the same manner for spacing as they do in the PRINT statement.
Some devices may not work with TAB and SPC.
EXAMPLE:
100 PRINT#1,"HELLO THERE!",A$,B$.
PRINT \#filenumber] USING format list; print list;
These statements let you define the format of string and numeric items
you want to print to the screen, printer, or another device. Put the for
mat you want in quotes. This is the format list. Then add a semicolon
and a list of what you want printed in the format for the print list. The list
can be variables or the actual values you want primed. For example:
5X = 32: Y= 100.23: A$ = "CAT"
10 PRINT USING "$##.##" ;13.25,X,Y
20 PRINT USING 1'###>#11;"CBM",A$
When you RUN this, line 10 prints out:
_
-
S13.25 $32.00
prints ***** instead
of Y value because
Y has 5 digits, which
does not conform to
format list (as ex
plained below)
