Quick in Batch directing info statements to a log file

[Bob Deskin]

Just off the top, QKOUT captures all output to the terminal. Since you 
only need to see INFO output and there's no "input", you don't care about 
the screen display.

To get the INFO to issue immediately and not wait until an actual screen 
display, add the NOW option at the end.

Hello everyone
 
I am running PH841F (on windows) and am running a quick program in batch.
I want to spit out some info messages into a log file to be able to track 
this “black-box” program during a job run.
 
Basically the screen looks like this
 
SCREEN ecb100e &
       MENU
 
FILE *ecb100da DESIGNER
 
PROCEDURE INITIALIZE
BEGIN
  WHILE RETRIEVING ecb100da & ; detail records
        SEQUENTIAL
        BEGIN
        INFO = "Read " &
             + RecordNo OF ecb100da + "/" &
             + LineNo OF ecb100da 
        DO INTERNAL Process-This-Record
        END
  RETURN
END
 
The program works, but unfortunately the output only contains the last 
line sent to the screen (if there was one) with a bunch of control 
characters. I would prefer to see all the info statements as an audit.
 
[H[J)0[m[37m[40m[;f[JQUICK session completed.[2;f
 
 
Anyone got any ideas?
 
I could create another subfile/permanent file and write to it as if it was 
a log file, but I thought this would be simpler and would not require any 
additional coding.
