Parameter The parameter inside the square brackets is optional .
==== Parameters ==== [[OutputTarget]] - an optional parameter; specifies an output target other then the PowerLanguage Editor Output Log; the parameter must be followed by a comma.
There are two :'''OutputTarget''' - an optional parameter; specifies an output targets: target other then the PowerLanguage Editor Output Log; the parameter must be followed by a comma.
[[Printer]] Specifies the default printer as the ::There are two optional output target. targets:
[[File("PathFilename")]] :::'''Printer''' - Specifies the default printer as the output target.
Where: [[::'''File("PathFilename]] ")''' - a string expression specifying Specifies an ASCII file as the output target; if the specified file does not exist, the path and filename file will be created.
Specifies an ASCII file as the output target; if the specified file does not exist, the file will be created. ::::Where:
If [[OutputTarget]] is not specified, :::::'''PathFilename''' - a string expression specifying the output will be sent to the PowerLanguage Editor Output Logpath and filename.
[[Expression]] - a string::::If '''OutputTarget''' is not specified, true/false, numerical series, or numerical expression; any number of valid expressions, separated by commas, can the output will be used sent to the PowerLanguage Editor Output Log.
A ':::'''Expression:C:D'numerical expression''''' can be formatted to specify the minimum number of characters, including the decimal point, and the number of decimal places, to be used for the output:
[[Expression:C:D]] ::'''Where''':
Where: [[::::'''C]] ''' - minimum number of characters , [[:::::'''D]] ''' - number of decimal places .
The default output format for a numerical expression is two decimal places and a minimum of seven characters. == Examples ==If the number of decimal places in the numerical expression is more than the specified number, the value will be will be rounded off to the specified number of decimal places<syntaxhighlight>Print(. 1);</syntaxhighlight>
If the number of characters Will print 0.10 in the output is less than the specified minimumPowerLanguage Editor Output Log, with three leading spaces will be added to bring the output to the specified minimum valueinserted.
==== Example ====<syntaxhighlight>Print(1.1555555:6:3); will </syntaxhighlight>Will print 01.10 556 in the PowerLanguage Editor Output Log, with three one leading spaces space inserted.
Print(Printer,"Print Test"); will send the string expression "Print Test" to the default printer <syntaxhighlight>Print(File("C:\test.txt"),CurrentDate,CurrentTime); will </syntaxhighlight>Will save the output of [[CurrentDate ]] and[[CurrentTime ]] to the 'test.txt ' file in the root directory of the C: hard drive</syntaxhighlight>.
