PUT$ [#] filenum&, string_expression |
Remarks |
PUT$ writes the contents of string_expression to file filenum& at the file's current file pointer position. File filenum& must have been opened in binary mode. If the file pointer position is at the end of the
file, PUT$ appends (adds) string_expression to the file, increasing
its length by LEN(string_expression) bytes. If the file pointer

In either case, the file pointer position following a PUT$ is at the end
of the just-written string. You can use
