OUTFILE Specification (MATRIX-END MATRIX command)

OUTFILE designates the character file to which the matrix expression is to be written. The file reference can be an actual filename in quotes or a file handle defined on a FILE HANDLE command that precedes the matrix program. The filename or file handle must be a valid file specification.

• The OUTFILE specification is required on the first WRITE statement in a matrix program (first in order of appearance, not necessarily in order of execution).
• If you omit the OUTFILE specification from a later WRITE statement, the statement uses the most recently named file (in order of appearance) on a WRITE statement in the same matrix program.
