WRITE - Output as icon


Effect
You can output certain characters as icons using the addition ...AS ICON . You should only address these characters with their system-defined names. The include (or the more comprehensive include ) contains the relevant identifiers as constants, e.g. ICON_OKAY (see List of icons ).

Example

INCLUDE .
WRITE: / ICON_OKAY AS ICON, "output as icon
'Text line'.

Although an output length of 2 characters is enough for most icons, some (e.g. the traffic light icons ICON_RED_LIGHT , ...) have a greater output length.
You can determine the length of an icon with DESCRIBE FIELD ICON_... output length ... .
You cannot print out all list icons. The printable icons are flagged as such in the 'list of icons' mentioned above.
