Syntax

TERMOUT(output)

output

is a character string to write to SYS$OUTPUT. It can be a character variable, character literal enclosed in double quotation marks, or another character expression.


Details

The TERMOUT function is easier to use than the TTOPEN, TTWRITE, and TTCLOSE functions, but it does not offer the same flexibility. If the TERMOUT function executes successfully, the return value is 0. Otherwise, the return value is the OpenVMS error code that indicates why it failed.
