OUTFILE Subcommand (WRITE command)

OUTFILE specifies the target file for the output from the WRITE command. By default, the output is included with the rest of the output from the session.

  • OUTFILE must be specified before the slash that precedes the start of the variable specifications.

Example

WRITE OUTFILE='/data/writeout.txt'
   /1 EMPLOYID DEPT SALARY /2 NAME.
EXECUTE.
  • OUTFILE specifies writeout.txt as the file that receives the WRITE output.
