Infoline

Data can be written to the infoline by specifying the output destination INFOLINE with the DEFINE PRINTER statement. Only a single line can be written to the infoline. The infoline can be used to have status information displayed, for example, for debugging purposes; it can also be used as separator line (as defined by SAA standards).
