#stdout
Send literal text to the standard output device
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
#stdout [<messageText>]
Arguments
<messageText> is the text of the message to display. <messageTest>
is a literal character string. Do not enclose the message in quotation
marks unless you want them to appear as part of the display.
Description
#stdout causes the compiler to output the literal text to the standard
output device (stdout) during compilation. If <messageText> is not
specified, a carriage return/line feed pair echoes to stdout.
Warning! Manifest constants are not translated in #stdout.
Implementation is identical to #error with the following exceptions:
output is written to STDOUT and no compiler error is generated.
Examples
This example demonstrates use of #stdout:
#ifdef DEBUG
#stdout Compiling debugging version...
#endif
PROCEDURE Main()
? "Hello world"
RETURN
#stdout End of "Hello World" program
