Hi All,
Thanks ted for your reply, but some clarification needed
I have a basic doubt and would like your help for some clarification.
Below is the sample code
D9$=INDIA
SYSTEM X,"FILE SAMPROD"+D9$+";DEV=LP,1"
ASSIGN "SAMPROD"+D9$,6,X
The above code is from a basic program in which i am assigning a file
SAMPROD to device LP,1.
Here the SYSTEM X function is used to execute the HP3000 command in
double quotes.
(1) IS this file created in HARD DISK?
(2) Does this mean whatever I write into this file gets printed at the
printer without any user intervention.(user saying explicitly print
SAMPRODINDIA after the program is run)
(3) What does the assign statement do?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks,
Sathish

It means that the $STDLIST of the job will be destined for the printer
LP (of
course, the ",1" following that will set the outpri of that $STDLIST to
1,
keeping it from printing--on the typical system). The DISPLAY
statements will
go to $STDLIST (and thus, to LP, as you expected).
HTH,
Ted

I remember once going to see him when he was lying ill at Putney. I had
ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me
rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen.
"No," he
replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number
expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."
