LPR_USE sets the default output device for LPRINT and LLIST. This can be any valid QDOS device name, provided it is not longer than 24 characters. The definition can be found with LPRINT$, the default is SER1 (ie. if LPR_USE has not yet been used).

Examples

LPR_USE par
LPR_USE ram1_print_dat
LPR_USE n2_ser1
LPR_USE con

NOTE

LPR_USE does not check the validity of the given device, so even completely wrong parameters are accepted:

LPR_USE #2

will set LPRINT$ to “2”, LPRINT$ and LLIST will report the error.

CROSS-REFERENCE

LLIST, LPRINT$.
