DISPLAY

Defines the default behavior of standard DISPLAY statements.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-DISPLAY-"device"----><
   +-/-+ 

Parameters:

device
Must be one of:
CONSOLE
Sets standard ANSI behavior, which is as if the UPON CONSOLE clause has been set.
Note: In situations where extended DISPLAY statements are used or the UPON CRT clause is explicitly set, CRT behavior is used.
CRT
Sets behavior as if the UPON CRT clause has been set.

Properties:

Default: DISPLAY"CONSOLE"
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Any

Dependencies:

DIALECT"RM", RM, DIALECT"ACU", or ACU sets DISPLAY"CRT" immediately.

Comments:

Use this directive to override DISPLAY behavior set by the ACU and RM directives. These directives set DISPLAY"CRT" behavior immediately, but by setting DISPLAY"CONSOLE" after these directives, you can achieve standard ANSI display behavior.
