- WRITE (expr{,...,expr}); Output ASCII processed data file
-
- The WRITE procedure outputs a time tag and successive values calculated
- for each 'expr' in WRITE's calling parameters to whatever system file
- has been specified by the last FILE control statement. If an X axis
- file has been specified then the "time tag" for each associated value
- is the corresponding X axis file value. One time tag value is output
- at the start of each line followed by values for each 'expr'. The
- line is then terminated with carriage return and line feed ASCII codes.
-
- One header record is output followed by however many data records it
- takes to hold all the data values and associated time tags. Output
- records contain ASCII values so the files can be transferred to systems
- that do not use compatible floating point numbers. The Output File
- Record Structures section in your manual gives the format for each of
- these record types.
-
- The READ function is capable of processing a file created by the WRITE
- procedure.
-
- The XFORMAT and YFORMAT controls affect the format of the time tag and
- data value fields, respectively.
