CODE
MAIN
START REPORT my_report TO "/tmp/file.txt"
OUTPUT TO REPORT my_report ("resi")
OUTPUT TO REPORT my_report ("busi")
OUTPUT TO REPORT my_report ("cyta")
FINISH REPORT my_report
END MAIN
REPORT my_report (output_line)
DEFINE
output_line CHAR(30)
OUTPUT
PAGE LENGTH 1
TOP MARGIN 0
LEFT MARGIN 0
BOTTOM MARGIN 0
FORMAT
ON EVERY ROW
PRINT COLUMN 1, output_line
END REPORT
Another way is to build a unix command such as echo'ing a string to a file, and using the 4GL RUN command to execute:
CODE
MAIN
DEFINE string CHAR(100)
LET output_file = "/tmp/file.txt"
LET string = "rm -f ", output_file cLIPPED
RUN string
LET string = build_command("resi")
RUN string
LET string = build_command("busi")
RUN string
LET string = build_command("cyta")
RUN string
END MAIN
FUNCTION build_command(file_name)
DEFINE
file_name CHAR(30),
str CHAR(100)
LET str = "echo \"", file_name CLIPPED, "\" >> ", output_file CLIPPED
RETURN str
END FUNCTION
