The print-err command provides a means of displaying messages from the messages file in their output format.
print-err file.reference msg.list{(options)}
| file.reference | Name of the file, usually messages, that contains the message list. | |
| msg.list | Indicates one or more item-IDs of items in the messages file. | |
| options | n | No pause option suppresses pause at end of page on terminal display. |
| p | Directs output to the printer, via the spooler. | |
| s | Used in FlashBASIC to allow stacked input. | |
Messages are generally kept in the dm,messages, file, but the process may specify any file which contains items with a similar format to the items in dm,messages, file.
Shows that it did not work, but it actually did. Message 3 prints when an invalid command is issued. The 'A' is where the invalid command would display.
print-err messages 3 [3] The command ’A’ is not defined.
print-err messages 333 [333] The file of files cannot be cleared or deleted.
print-err messages 659 536 [659] Line printer ready. [536] already logged off data "stuff" execute "print-err dm,messages, 201"
This FlashBASIC code produces the output:
[201] ’stuff’ is not a file name.
