SET ALTERNATE TO <file> command ignored

[Datadis]

Hi, everybody!

Anyone knows why, when I issue

SET ALTERNATE TO migrations

in a prg, all the output still displays on the screen, and I only get  in my migrations.txt file?

As always, your help will be appreciated,

Hi,

You missed a bit, you need to toggle the alternate on.

set alte to migrations
set alte on
? "blah blah"
set alte off
set alte to

Regards

Pascal,

To stop the output going to the screen, you need to issue SET CONSOLE OFF.

Mike
