Arguments
| TextLines | Specifies text to assign to the variable VarName |
| INTO <VariableName> | Specifies the variable name to use for passing the contents of the TEXT...ENDTEXT. This variable should be of type string, or should allow that a string can be added to it. It does not have to be a local variable, it can also be a field in the current class or an expression (someVar:SomeField) |
| WRAP <cLineBreak> | The optional parameter <cLineBreak> specifies a character string that is used to wrap lines. The default value is CHR(13)+CHR(10) (carriage return and line feed). If WRAP is not specified, no line breaks will be inserted. |
| TRIMMED | This optional parameter tells the preprocessor to remove all spaces from the beginning of the line if TEXT INTO .. is used. |
| TO FILE <cFilename> | <cFilename> indicates the name of a file where the text <Text> is optionally written. The name must contain the drive and path, if necessary. The file name can be specified either as a literal file name or as a character expression in parentheses. When the file name is specified without file extension, ".TXT" is used by default. |
| TO PRINTER | Indicates that the text should be sent to the printer instead to a file. |
