SAR$ WRITE
LINE_NUMBER_INTEGER_PART
PLUS Attribute: word integer
The line number to be written out with the output image. It may be a CTS line
number or the integer part of a fractional line number (see
OUTPUT_LINE_NUMBER_TYPE). This field is used only for output types of SDF
files or SDF elements.
LINE_NUMBER_FRACTIONAL_PART (1:4)
PLUS Attribute: word integer
The fractional part of a fractional line number to be written out with the output
image. Each word contains 10 digits of the fraction. This field is used only for
output types of SDF files or SDF elements.
TRIM_BLANKS_FLAG
PLUS Attribute: 6-bit status
A flag that determines if words of blank (space) characters are trimmed from the end
of ASCII output images before they are written out:
S'Off'
S'On'
Do not trim blank characters (default).
Trim blank characters from output image.
IMAGE_CONTROL_WIDTH
PLUS Attribute: 18-bit integer
The initial print or punch control width of the output file. The default is 33 words
(132 ASCII characters). This field is used only for symbiont output file types. This is
only recognized during the SAR_OPEN_OUTPUT call. If it is modified in subsequent
calls to SAR_WRITE, it will be ignored. If the output file type is a symbiont file,
SAR$ may expand the line width if necessary. The line width will be reset to the
print or punch device default in SAR_CLOSE_OUTPUT. This is to allow for the
additional bytes required in the ASCII/ISO with embedded shift-coded kanji and ACD
character types and for transmitting large data records such as a full screen of
characters.
The constant SAR_PCW_CHARS_PER_WORD may be used to calculate the desired
IMAGE_CONTROL_WIDTH.
