Parameters

logical-name

   Specifies the logical name assigned to the output file. Use the
   logical name assigned by the OPEN command. In interactive mode,
   specify the process-permanent files identified by the logical
   names SYS$INPUT, SYS$OUTPUT, SYS$ERROR, and SYS$COMMAND. (The
   OPEN command assigns a logical name to a file and places the name
   in the process logical name table.)


expression[,...]

   Specifies data to be written as a single record to the output
   file. You can specify data items using character string
   expressions, which may be symbol names, character strings in
   quotation marks (" "),  literal numeric values, or a lexical
   function. For more information on string expressions, see the
   OpenVMS User's Manual.

   You can specify a list of expressions separated by commas (,);
   the command interpreter concatenates the items into one record
   and writes the record to the output file.

   The maximum size of any record that can be written is less than
   1024 bytes, and the value of any symbol that is specified as part
   of a record cannot exceed 255 characters; however, if you specify
   the /SYMBOL qualifier, the maximum record size is 2048 bytes and
   the value of a symbol can exceed 255 characters.
