If this option is used, the file is NOT printed, nor deleted. The file may be used more than once; the outputs will be concatenated. The resulting file will be a standard disk text file, nor a "Fortran" formatted print file. Format: The name is usually given by specifying a logical device plus directory, followed by a colon, followed by the actual file name. For Unix, a "logical" is an environment variable and can be set up, e.g. from the C shell: % setenv MYAREA /home/me/aips/ or from the bourne, korn, or bash shells: $ MYAREA=/home/me/aips/; export MYAREA The logical name must be set up before entering the AIPS program and is usually in upper case. Then in AIPS you can set, e.g. OUTPRINT = 'MYAREA:PRINT.DAT' Note that the Unix-standard $ ahead of the logical is omitted. Other forms are now acceptable as well: OUTPRINT = 'FITS.DAT will find the file in the directory local when you started AIPS. A full path name may also be given OUTPRINT = '/home/primate2/egreisen/AIPS/Text.prt if it fits in 48 characters. Note that the trailing quote mark is left off and this is the last command on the input line so that the case is preserved. Null value: ' ' Taken to mean print and delete a scratch file when used by interactive jobs. Batch jobs use PRTFIL:BATCHjjj.nnn, where jjj is the job number and nnn the user number both in hex. Note, this means batch job printouts are concatenated in one file and are not automatically printed. Printing: If you want to print a file after generating it with OUTPRINT, you should use the F2PS.EXE program to process or "filter" the file. To do this properly, you need to know how many lines per page your host is set up for; this can be found by typing RUN SETPAR outside of AIPS and looking at the value (it's near the end). Then, supposing this value is 88 and your file is in the local directory and is called MYFILE.OUT, type: cat MYFILE.OUT | F2PS.EXE -88 | lpr -Pps to print it on printer queue "ps" on a Sun4. If the response is that F2PS.EXE is not found, you need to load the AIPS environment via LOGIN.CSH or LOGIN.SH. For additional details, see comments in F2PS.FOR and ZLPCL2.
