Causes DEC DATATRIEVE to format and write one or more values of
       specified or implied DEC DATATRIEVE value expressions to your
       terminal or workstation, to a file, or to a unit record device.

       Format

         For retrieving from selected records and target record streams
         formed by FOR loops:

                           [    {file-spec  } ]
         PRINT  print-list [ ON {*.prompt   } ]
                           [    {           } ]

         For retrieving from the current collection:

                                  [    {file-spec  } ]
         PRINT  ALL  [print-list] [ ON {*.prompt   } ]
                                  [    {           } ]

         For retrieving from record streams formed by the PRINT
         statement using one RSE:

                                      [    {file-spec  } ]
         PRINT  [print-list  OF]  rse [ ON {*.prompt   } ]
                                      [    {           } ]

         For retrieving from record streams formed by the PRINT
         statement using two RSEs (the inner print list follows another
         print list):

         PRINT  print-list, ALL print-list OF rse-1 [,print-list] OF
                rse-2

         [    {file-spec  } ]
         [ ON {*.prompt   } ]
         [    {           } ]

         For retrieving from record streams formed by the PRINT
         statement using two RSEs (the inner print list precedes any
         other print list):

         PRINT  ALL  ALL  print-list  OF  rse-1  [,print-list]  OF  rse-2

         [    {file-spec  } ]
         [ ON {*.prompt   } ]
         [    {           } ]

1  –  Arguments

    print-list

       Is a list of value expressions and formatting specifications.

    ALL

       When used alone following PRINT, ALL causes the records in the
       current collection to be displayed or written to the specified
       file or device.

       When used with a print list, ALL causes the print list to be
       evaluated for each record in the current collection.

       When the print list begins with an inner print list, ALL is
       required to establish the proper context in which to resolve
       references to the items in the hierarchical list.

    rse

       Is a record selection expression that creates the record stream
       DEC DATATRIEVE uses to evaluate the elements of the print list.

    file-spec

       Is the file specification of the file to which you want to write
       the output of the statement.

       A complete file specification has the following format:

       node-spec::device:[directory]file-name.type;version

    *.prompt-name

       Is a prompting value expression that prompts you for a file
       specification to which you want to write the output of the
       statement.
