PRINT

TAIL MYFILE

To print the last 45 records of MYFILE, because entering the value 45 overrides the default

value of 10, enter:

TAIL MYFILE, 45

NOTE The PRINT command itself can be used to create a ﬁle:

PRINT $STDIN,TAILB

PARM FILE, LAST=5

PRINT !FILE; START = -!LAST

:EOD

SAVE TAILB

The SAVE command is used to make the ﬁle TAILB permanent since the

default is temporary.

PRINT inﬁle;NUM;NONUM

would print the line numbers as in the case of UNNUMbered ﬁles, ie, line numbers

starting from 1 for the ﬁrst record and so on.

PRINT inﬁle;UNN;NONUM

PRINT inﬁle;NONUM

would consider the ﬁle as UNNUMbered ﬁle even when the ﬁle is a NUMbered ﬁle and the

print the contents as it is in the ﬁle.
