WRITELN

 The WRITELN procedure writes a line of data to a text file.

 Syntax:

    WRITELN [[( [[file_variable,]] {expression},... 
       [[, ERROR := error-recovery]] )]]


 The 'file_variable' is the name of the file variable  associated
 with  the  text file to be written.  If you omit the name of the
 file, the default is OUTPUT.

 The 'expression' is an expression whose value is to be  written;
 multiple  output  values  must  be  separated  by  commas.   The
 expressions can be of any ordinal, real, or string type and  are
 written with a default field width.

 The 'error-recovery' specifies the action  to  be  taken  if  an
 error occurs during execution of the routine.  By default, after
 the first error, the error message is printed and  execution  is
 stopped.

 The file must be in generation mode before WRITELN is called; it
 remains in that mode after WRITELN has been executed.

 The WRITELN procedure writes the specified values into the  TEXT
 file, inserts an end-of-line marker after the end of the current
 line, and then positions the file at the beginning of  the  next
 line.

 You can specify a carriage-control character as the  first  item
 in  an  output  line.  When you use carriage-control characters,
 make sure that the file is open  with  either  the  CARRIAGE  or
 FORTRAN option.

 If you specify a carriage format but  use  an  invalid  carriage
 control  character,  the first character in the line is ignored.
 The output appears with the first character truncated.

 See the "HP Pascal Language Reference  Manual"  for  a  complete
 description of the WRITELN procedure.
