WRITE

WRITE writes text data files that can be used by other applications.

WRITE [OUTFILE='file'] 
  [ENCODING='encoding'] [BOM={YES}]
                             {NO }]
  [RECORDS={1}] [{NOTABLE}] 
           {n}   {TABLE  }   

 /{1    } varlist [{col location [(format)]}] [varlist...] 
  {rec #}          {(format list)          }
                   {*                      }

 [/{2    }...] 
   {rec #}

This command does not read the active dataset. It is stored, pending execution with the next command that reads the dataset. See the topic Command Order for more information.
