PRINT
Using Pending Prints
A record is always wrinen onto a file whenever lhe cUlll\Julcr
performs a PRINT statement which has no trailing separator. A
pending
print condition is established when a PRINT statement
with a trailing print-separator is performed. When the uexl PRINT
statement using the file is encountered, one of the following actions
occurs:
• If the next PRINT statement has no REC clause - the
computer places the data in the 110 buffer immediately
following
the data already there.
• If
the next PRINT statement has a REC clause - the
computer writes the pending print record onto the file at
the position indicated by the internal counter and
performs the new PRINT·REC statement as usual.
If a pending print condition exists and an INPUT statement for the
same file is encountered, the pending print record will be written
onto the file at the position indicated by the internal counter, and
the internal counter is incremented. Then the INPUT statement is
performed
as usual. If a pending print condition exists and the file is
closed or
restored, the pendinp; print record is written before the
file is closed or restored.
