The Current Output
Listing File
Pressing the Terminal
Break Key
The current output listing file is the file to which ENFORM directs output. During the
course of an ENFORM session, the current output listing file can change.
At the beginning of an ENFORM session, the current output listing file is the default
output file. ENFORM determines the default output file by the following process:
If the OUT option is included in the ENFORM command, the default output file is
the file specified in the OUT option.
If the OUT option is omitted from the ENFORM command, the default output file
is the file specified in the IN option of the ENFORM command if that file is a
terminal.
If the file specified for the IN option is not a terminal, the default output file is the
home terminal.
If both the IN option and the OUT option are omitted from the ENFORM
command, the default output file is the home terminal.
As the session progresses, the current output listing file might change as follows:
If a QUERY-COMPILER-LISTING file is specified, that file becomes the current
output listing file whenever ENFORM commands and statements are being
processed.
If either a QUERY-REPORT-LISTING file or an ?OUT command file is specified,
that file becomes the current output listing file whenever a report (the output from
a LIST statement) is being processed.
The QUERY-COMPILER-LISTING file and the QUERY-REPORT-LISTING file are
discussed later in this section. The ?OUT command file is discussed in Section 6.
ENFORM acknowledges the terminal BREAK key whenever the input file is a
terminal. The input file is a terminal under the following conditions:
the IN option is omitted from the ENFORM command making the home terminal
the default input file.
the terminal (whether the home terminal or another terminal) is the file specified
in the IN option of the ENFORM command.
Pressing the terminal BREAK key on any terminal, including the home terminal, has
no effect unless the terminal is the input file.
