DISPLAY STATUS [TO PRINTER [PROMPT] | TO FILE FileName] [NOCONSOLE]

Parameters

  • TO PRINTER [PROMPT]
    Directs output from DISPLAY STATUS to a printer.

    You can include the optional PROMPT clause to display a print dialog box before printing starts.

The printer settings that you can adjust depend on the currently installed printer driver. Place the PROMPT keyword immediately after TO PRINTER.
