6.2.40.6.3 Print Function Files
>_Host_> After the punch function operations (if specified) are completed, you can issue WRITE statement(s) for the print function file.
If you wish to print additional data on some of the data cards and not on others, the WRITE statement for the null cards can be omitted. Any attempt to write beyond the limits of the card results in abnormal termination of the application, thus, the END-OF-PAGE phrase cannot be specified.
Depending on the capabilities of the specific IBM 3525 model in use, the print file can be either a 2-line print file or a multiline print file. Up to 64 characters can be printed on each line.
Line control is specified by issuing WRITE AFTER ADVANCING statements for the print function file. If line control is used for one such statement, it must be used for all other WRITE statements issued to the file. The maximum number of printable characters, including any space characters, is 64. Such WRITE statements must not specify space suppression.
Identifier and integer have the same meanings they have for other WRITE AFTER ADVANCING statements. However, such WRITE statements must not increase the line position on the card beyond the card limit, or abnormal termination results.
The mnemonic-name option of the WRITE AFTER ADVANCING statement can also be specified. In the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph, the environment-names can be associated with the mnemonic-names, as follows:
 Table 51. Meanings of Environment-names in SPECIAL NAMES paragraph        
 Environment-name                      Meaning                             
 C02                                   Line 3                              
 C03                                   Line 5                              
 C04                                   Line 7                              
  .                                     .                                  
  .                                     .
