TXT ( Text / Value )
The TXT procedure writes un-formatted information (Text / Value) to a text-file.
Eg., TXT("My Customised CatchmentSIM Report")
If you wish to write special symbols, you can use the ASCII character code preceded by the $ symbol. This is particularly useful for printing the “ symbol as this cannot be done any other way since CatchmentSIM interprets the “ symbol as the beginning and end of a text string.
Eg., TXT($34)TXT("Index")TXT($34)TXT(",")
will print "Index",
FTXT ( Justification , Offset , Multiplier , Decimal Places , Text / Value)
