Runtime.Print

Prototypes

static void Print( String sText <, boolean bNewLine> )

Parameters

String sText
The string to send to the program's output window.

boolean bNewLine
If bNewLine is true, a new line is started after the string sText is output. If bNewLine is false, a new line is not started after the string sText is output. Calling this method without specifying the bNewLine parameter is equivalent to calling it with bNewLine equal to true.

Remarks

This method sends a string to the program's output window. Unlike the PRINT statement, this method is capable of sending any Unicode string to the output window.

Notes

• This method does not output the string through ODS. The string is sent directly to the output window on the client computer. In the case of HTML output, IML Studio wraps the string in a PRE block.
• To embed a Unicode character in a string, use the notation \uHHHH, where HHHH is the four-digit hexadecimal code for the character.
• IMLPlus only processes a literal string for escape sequences (such as \uHHHH or \n) if there is a letter 'j' suffix after the ending quotation mark. For example: "Lowercase Greek alpha: \u03B1"j
• Character matrices can only contain characters that exist in the code page configured on the server computer.

Example

declare String s = "\u03B1 \u03B2 \u03b4 \u03C0 \u03C3"j;
Runtime.Print( "Here are some Greek letters: " + s );

/* a progress indicator */
Runtime.Print( "Performing long computation", false );
do i = 1 to 20;
    Runtime.Print( ".", false );
    run Delay( 250 );
end;
Runtime.Print( "Finished!" );
