Flexible PRINT Command Format

You have the option to omit the slashes in the PRINT command by placing an "S" in front of the set number, an "F" in front of the format number, and the word "item" and a space in front of a single item number. For example, the following command prints the first record in set S3 in Format 5:

PRINT S3 F5 ITEM 1

The word "item" is necessary only when you are requesting a single record; you can omit the word if you are requesting a list of items (e.g., PRINT F3 S1 1-4). The elements can appear in any order, with spaces between them.

In the flexible arrangement, you can omit any one parameter (set number, format or list of items) in order to take advantage of system defaults.

You can use U-numbered (user-defined) formats with the flexible PRINT command format.

The TAG, PORT, SOLO, PRO, and FROM (in OneSearch) options can all be used with the flexible PRINT command format.
