Overview (OUTPUT DISPLAY command)

The OUTPUT commands (OUTPUT NEW, OUTPUT NAME, OUTPUT ACTIVATE, OUTPUT OPEN, OUTPUT SAVE, OUTPUT CLOSE) provide the ability to programmatically manage one or many output documents. These functions allow you to:

  • Save an output document through syntax.
  • Programmatically partition output into separate output documents (for example, results for males in one output document and results for females in a separate one).
  • Work with multiple open output documents in a given session, selectively appending new results to the appropriate document.

The OUTPUT DISPLAY command displays a list of open output documents and identifies the one that is currently active, and referred to as the designated output document. The only specification is the command name OUTPUT DISPLAY.
