*DISPLAY (SETMODE)

*DISPLAY={name}

Where:

name

Required. A previously defined Character String Variable or a string Literal specifying a file name.

{name} identifies a user specified filename that is opened by the runtime and available for output redirection when the *DSPMODE=2 control is used in a DISPLAY or KEYIN statement. If this keyword operation is executed with a NULL {name} variable, any currently opened output redirection file is closed.

Any files that are attached or opened for input or output redirection are managed solely by the user program. The state of these files is not explicitly preserved or changed by CHAIN, EXECUTE, BATCH, or ROLLOUT operations. User programs can determine the current state of redirected input and output using GETMODE keyword controls.
