Been using a copy of IBM's July 1978 DCF user guide to stoke my imagination re: "markup functions". Thought I would incorporate a "write to file" function; however, the "output file (dd) name" keeps derailing my thoughts...
Quote:
When SCRIPT/VS processes the .WF [Write To File] control word, one or more input lines are written to a SCRIPT/VS file named DSMUTWTF. • You can insert one line into the file with: .wf contents of the input line . . wf .ce Text to be centered. • You can insert a number of lines into the file with: .wf 5 .in 3m .ce 3 These are the lines to go into DSMUTWTF. • You can also insert a number of lines into the file with: .wf on . Many input lines . .wf off
