The LPRINT USING statement sends formatted data to LPT1, the parallel port printer.
Syntax
- LPRINT [text${;|,}] USING template$; variable[; ...][{;|,}]
- 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.
Description
- The variable list should be listed in the order that they are used in the template from left to right.
- If the template string is omitted or symbols don't match the variable(s) an "Illegal Function Call" ERROR will occur.
- No more than 25 # digit places are allowed in a template number or an error will occur.
- Can convert numerical exponential or scientific notation values to normal decimal point values using less digits.
- NOTE: If the numerical value exceeds the template's digit range a % symbol will appear in the leftmost digit area.
