LPRINT USING

The LPRINT USING statement sends formatted data to LPT1, the parallel port printer.

Syntax

LPRINT [text${;|,}] USING template$; variable[; ...][{;|,}]

Template:Parameters

• Literal or variable STRING text$ can be placed between LPRINT and USING or it can be included in the template$.
• A semicolon or comma may follow the text$ to stop or tab the print cursor before the template$ LPRINT.
• The literal or variable STRING template$ should use the template symbols to display each variable type in the list following it.
• The list of data variables used in the template$ are separated by semicolons after the template string value.
• A semicolon or comma may follow the variable list to stop or tab the print cursor for pending prints.

• If the template string is omitted or symbols don't match the variable(s) an "Illegal Function Call" ERROR will occur.
